Greetings,

If I understand the original question correctly, I believe there *is* a way
to add new bend points to a connector. It's a bit fiddly (but only a little
bit) and is worth the fiddling in the end.

To do so, highlight the connector in question and find one of the mid-line
handles (green box with an x in the middle). Hold the Shift key and drag the
handle. This will create a new parallel line with four new bend points (and
two connecting lines). The fiddly part: These new lines and the end points
now can be dragged and moved as desired. Get rid of the unneeded new bend
points by moving/dragging the handles/end points until Visio merges them.

Hope this makes sense.

I believe this creates a Vertex Point and not a Bend Point.

I cannot find a way to create additional bend points once a line is drawn.
If you delete one you cannot put it back unless the Edit - Undo is still
holding it.

Hi there,

Ive been wondering how to do this for years, and found it!

Thought i'd help out even though its 11months later. You use the pencil
tool, whilst holding down the Ctrl key.

Your're right, I didn't want to hear that. But that's the way it is with the
truth sometimes. Thanks for breaking it to me gently, and thanks for your
help.

More than one bend point in a line denotes that the freeform tool was used, &
as such, no, you cann't add "bend points."

Sorry, I doubt that's what you wanted to hear.

Thanks for the help, but I misspoke. I am working with the curved
connectors, not lines. My bad. Can I add bend points to curved connectors?

A drawn line segment has two endpoints with a radius control point between.
These three points will only be seen when using the straight line, curve,
arc, & freeform tools. With the line selected, hold down control & left click
at the point on the line where you want to add a line segment connector. For
each line segment connector you add, you will add a radius control handle.
You can only add line segment connectors. You cannot add radius control
handles.

I have several lines that need more bend points than were created when I
first added the line. I can select and delete the existing bend points, but
I have not found a way to add them.
