Re: Multiple inputs to a single process box

You can add a bunch of nicely spaced connection points to your box using the
Connection Point tool. It's underneath the Connector tool on the Standard
toolbar.

You might also choose to enable Glue to Geometry. This makes connections a
lot easier, but you have to choose the point of connection yourself. Go to
Tools > Snap & Glue to enable this setting.

I am developing a flow chart that requires a single process box which uses

multiple (as many as eight) separate inputs. How can I connect each
individual input box to the process box in a neat looking way?

Hi,

That suggestion from Mark works. Just adding that after selecting the connection point tool, move the cursor where you want the connection point, Keeping the CTRL key pressed, Left-click
on the Mouse.

Thanks and regards,
