Lines and connectors

Aha! Whiteboards

A connector can be an arrow or a line. Connectors can be used to join objects — shapes, text boxes, and sticky notes — together or on their own as simple arrows and lines.

  • A connector can be an arrow or a line. Connectors can be used to join objects — shapes, text boxes, and sticky notes — together or on their own as simple arrows and lines.

  • Add a connector by selecting the connector icon on your toolbar, then click and drag it to your desired length.

  • Resize a connector by selecting and dragging its endpoints.

  • Manipulate a connector's angles or curves by clicking and dragging the midpoints on the connector.

  • Connect objects by selecting the endpoint of a connector and dragging and dropping it to a connection point on an object's border. The objects will stay connected even if you move them later.

  • Once you add a line or connector to your whiteboard, you can use its toolbar to edit its line, start point, and end point styles.

When creating BPMN diagrams on your whiteboard, edit your connector's style to turn it into a sequence flow, message flow, or association.
