Default Adding End Points to Shapes

I am using existing shapes from the 'Network Devices' template for some
network diagrams. I want to add additional endpoints to some devices so I
can have multiple, distinct lines running to the devices. Currently, the
shapes only have 2 or 3 endpoints. I want to have about 8 or 10 points to
connect lines. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Joe

I assume by 'end-points' you're referring to nic-ports. You can use the
connections tool on the toolbar to add additional connection points (check
the help facility).

When you say End Points, do you mean Connection Points? If so, have you
tried adding more with the Connection Point Tool?

Al,
Thanks for the reply. That was the ticket. Didn't even know that tool
existed.

Thanks,
Joe
