The Auto Connect property, when enabled before making a connection, automatically creates the connection between the two selected points.
· When the Auto Connect property is disabled, the connection must be created manually between the selected points.
· When Ortho is ON, the termination point can be selected only in the four mutually perpendicular directions of the starting point.
· When Ortho is OFF, the termination point can be anywhere around the start point.
