"Glue Info" Section.

This section exists only in 1-D shapes (including direct and smart connectors). It's used by ConceptDraw to calculate the coordinates of the endpoints of the connectors.

ConnectObjBegin

The ID of the shape to which the begin point of the connector is glued.
If it equals to -1, the end of the connector is not glued to anything.
After the formula go events on which the coordinates of the begin point are re-calculated, separated by semicolon. These coordinates can be seen in the EndPoints section. Normally the events and formula for calculations are specified by ConceptDraw.

ConnectObjEnd

The ID of the shape to which the end point of the connector is glued.
If it equals to -1, the end of the connector is not glued to anything.
After the formula go events on which the coordinates of the end point are re-calculated, separated by semicolon. These coordinates can be seen in the EndPoints section. Normally the events and formula for calculations are specified by ConceptDraw.

ConnectTypeBegin

Determines the type of connection of the connector's begin point to the shape. The _CONNECTBEGINX and _CONNECTBEGINY functions are calculated depending on this type.

Values:
1,2,3,4 - connection to one of the sizes of the alignment box.
5 - connection to the entire shape.
255 - not connected, or connected to some other connection point.

ConnectTypeEnd

Determines the type of connection of the connector's end point to the shape.

Values:
1,2,3,4 - connection to one of the sizes of the alignment box.
5 - connection to the entire shape.
255 - not connected, or connected to some other connection point.

Variables from the Glue Info section are specified in the following form in the formulas:
