How to add curved connector bend points
I have several lines that need more bend points than were created when I
first added the line. I can select and delete the existing bend points, but I have not found a way to add them. |

How to add curved connector bend points
A drawn line segment has two endpoints with a radius control point between.
These three points will only be seen when using the straight line, curve, arc, & freeform tools. With the line selected, hold down control & left click at the point on the line where you want to add a line segment connector. For each line segment connector you add, you will add a radius control handle. You can only add line segment connectors. You cannot add radius control handles. -- CWalton VisioRenderer, MD Architectural & Construction Documentation "Evan P.

How to add curved connector bend points
When dealing with a line segment drawn with the freeform tool, there is no
way to add radius control handles. In my second thought, the only course you might have is to redraw the freeform line segment. -- CWalton VisioRenderer, MD Architectural & Construction Documentation "Don Visio" wrote: A drawn line segment has two endpoints with a radius control point between.

How to add curved connector bend points
Thanks for the help, but I misspoke. I am working with the curved
connectors, not lines. My bad. Can I add bend points to curved connectors? "Don Visio" wrote: A drawn line segment has two endpoints with a radius control point between.

How to add curved connector bend points
More than one bend point in a line denotes that the freeform tool was used, &
as such, no, you cann't add "bend points." Sorry, I doubt that's what you wanted to hear. -- CWalton VisioRenderer, MD Architectural & Construction Documentation "Evan P.

Your're right, I didn't want to hear that. But that's the way it is with the
truth sometimes. Thanks for breaking it to me gently, and thanks for your help.

How to add curved connector bend points
Hi there,
Ive been wondering how to do this for years, and found it! Thought i'd help out even though its 11months later. You use the pencil tool, whilst holding down the Ctrl key.
