Libreoffice Draw connector question


Hi there,


I am using Draw to create simple electrical block diagram similar to flow charts, I want to use connectors to link up different devices, most of them has multiple input and output point, but with the default setting I can only connect to 4 points in a block each on one side, is there any way to release that lock ?

I found the solution on Youtube, it is a great place for finding solution for almost everything ha !

And here's a non-video answer: https://superuser.com/questions/4177...breoffice-draw

Looks like the icon has changed in newer versions, from a tube of glue to a glue pistol, because that's definitely the best way to indicate modifying connection points...

Still, at least there is some actual official custom connection "glue points" documentation now, even if it is very basic and doesn't even bother to show you the icon to look for.

Thanks, my problem basically solved, but I want little improvement in future version of the Draw app. I am drawing simple block diagram for electrical and computer devices, I want to use the shape of 'line' but with the function of connectors, so that I can put a round dot at one end to indicate it is a connection point, an arrow on the other end as destination to make the diagram clearer but I couldn't do that, I even tried to replace the connector image with a 'line' one also not possible. I tried other similar drawing apps such as those for flowchart but they worked the same, connectors can only have arrow at one side I wonder why it is only a graphic to use ?? the only usable connectors for me is the one with arrow on both ends, to serve as a network connection since network traffic run both directions, but for input device such as webcam it only works one way.
