Dynamically linking objects

You can use the Connector tool to draw connector lines that dynamically link objects together. Connector lines automatically adjust when you move connected objects in the document window. Use connector lines for tasks such as drawing call-out lines for labels, building organizational charts, or creating basic flowcharts. You can use the Object panel to edit the start symbol, end symbol, and other stroke attributes of connector lines. For more information, see Applying attributes to strokes.
