Pinning connector ends

Connectors can be either pinned temporarily or pinned permanently. Connector ends help you to point out a specific position of shapes with pin.

Adjusting connector ends temporarily

  1. Connectors can be joined at the same point of a shape on the diagram. To do so, drag one end of a connector to the shape.

  2. The connector is temporarily pinned. A dialog box will be shown on the top right corner of diagram to instruct you how to pin the connector.
