Connecting Shapes with the Connector Tool

There are two ways one can connect shapes using a connector. The first one is by using the connector tool on the toolbar.

To connect two shapes using the Connector Tool, click and release the Connector Tool on the toolbar. Upon moving the mouse pointer into the drawing page, the cursor changes to indicate that the connector is active. Hover the mouse pointer over the connection point to which the first end point should be connected. Visio places a red icon around the connection point to which the first end point will be connected.

Now, click the mouse to fix the end point and drag to the connection point where you want to place the second end point.

Once the two connection points are thus specified, upon release the mouse button the connector is rendered between the two shapes.
