To amplify one comment made in the video Bill provided above: be sure you select the target shape before Ctrl+clicking to add a connection point on the edge. I can tell you from experience that it's easy to accidentally add a connection point to the page and not the edge of the shape. However, selecting the shape first makes the edge more apparent and reduces the change of clicking a tiny bit off the shape and on the page by mistake.

How can I add "connecting points" to my new shape so that whenever I attach a line it will snap to this connecting point?  (I'm not sure I'm using the correct terms.)

Visio 2013 - I created a brand new shape. How can I add new &quot;snap to&quot; points so that lines are easily connected to my new shape??
