When you draw a connector between shapes, the connector will be attached to a gluepoint on each shape. Each shape has some default gluepoints, and the positions of the default gluepoints depend on the specific shape. You can add your own custom gluepoints to a shape and then attach connectors to the custom gluepoints.</paragraph> 38<paragraph role="heading" id="par_id0919200803041099" xml-lang="en-US" level="2" l10n="NEW">To add and edit gluepoints</paragraph> 39<list type="ordered"> 40<listitem> 41<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id091920080304108" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">Do one of the following:</paragraph> 42</listitem> 43</list> 44<list type="ordered"> 45<listitem> 46<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id0919200803041082" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">Click the <emph>Glue Point</emph> icon on the Drawing toolbar.</paragraph> 47</listitem> 48<listitem> 49<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id0919200803041186" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">Choose <item type="menuitem">Edit - Glue Points</item>.</paragraph> 50</listitem> 51</list> 52<list type="ordered"> 53<listitem> 54<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id0919200803041160" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">Click the <emph>Insert Glue Point</emph> icon on the Gluepoints toolbar.</paragraph> 55</listitem> 56<listitem> 57<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id0919200803041115" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">Click inside the shape where you want to add the new gluepoint.</paragraph> 58<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id0919200803041133" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="NEW">If the shape is filled, you can click anywhere inside the shape.
