These connectors can be attached to the shapes, i.e. pretty much anything that is not an open path. When the shape is moved the connector will update itself to follow the shape. In addition, connectors will avoid objects marked as ‘avoided’ and reroute if one of these objects is placed on their existing path, or is moved and frees up a new path.
