When creating shapes in the drawing it is needed to use the connector. These lines allow to link two shapes\u00a0with each other, can have different types\u00a0and arrows, color and thickness. Essential for these connectors is a specific connection point on the edge of shapes. we are talking about the so-called Connecting points. These points are usually on the center of lines, or can be created anywhere in the area. You can also connect the isolated point.<\/p>\n

This article discusses the types of connectors – the type of connection between the two shapes. The connector may adapt themselves to the new position\u00a0when you move shapes and it needs to find a shorter route, or the connection is still freezed\u00a0in the same Connecting points.<\/p>\n

Dynamic connectors<\/h2>\n

The connection between the shapes\u00a0exists, but the connection points are subject to change. When you move a shape\u00a0within a drawing to another location, the connector may be adapted to the new position and change its shape, length and connection points. Visio is trying to find the most effective “way”.<\/p>\n

Creating dynamic connectors<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. On the Home tab, activate the Connector icon.<\/li>\n
  2. Move mouse\u00a0inside of the shape\u00a0to display a red border around it.<\/li>\n
  3. Click and drag to another shape\u00a0again in his inner part and release the mouse button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Red box when creating a connector means that Visio itself decide on the best location for a connection point and it may change when moving shapes.<\/p>\n
