Introduction to Connectors in Visio 2003

Connectors enable two or more shapes in a diagram to be linked to each other using a line, depicting a relationship such as association, process flow, data flow, control flow, etc. A connector is a special shape in Visio that has two end points and one or more special "handles" that can be used for reshaping the connector. End points of a connector can be "snapped" to connection points on a shape. Once snapped to a connection point, connectors stay glued to the shape no matter where in the diagram the shape is moved. A shape may have more than one connection point available for connectors to be glued to. Visio allows several connectors to be glued to one connection point.
