How-To: Draw Object Connector - OpenOffice.org Draw
- To draw object connectors, first you must find the "Connectors Button."
- You can find it here.
- Click once on this "down arrow" to bring up the "Connectors Toolbar."
- Here you will find several Connectors to choose from.
- As an example we are just going to pick a simple Connector. Just click on it once.
- Now move you mouse to the drawing area. Click and hold the left mouse button on the first object you want to connect.
- Still holding the mouse button, move your mouse to "drag" the connector to the second object.
- Once the mouse is over the second object, just release the mouse button to finish drawing the connector.
- Great! We now have a connector between these two objects.
- Notice that when you move objects that are connected, the connector follows suit.
- This will make it easier when you are adjusting the objects' positions.
- Great! You can now draw Connectors.
