Under Lines right-click the line or connector that you want to add and then click Lock Drawing Mode. On the View tab in the Visual Aids group verify that AutoConnect is selected. To create such a dynamic connection between shapes select the connector tool from the ribbon and drag from one shape to another.
Hold the pointer over the shape until AutoConnect arrows appear around the shape.
A dynamic connection maintains connection to the shape when shapes are moved around and finds the shortest route between the connected shapes. Add a connector shape as you would do a line. If you start or end a line on a red connection handle the line will be anchored to the shape. When the shapes and connector are inserted in a new drawing canvas the connector is connected to the shape.
