OK, thanks for the ideas. I have edited shapes before so that would
seem to be the way to go. I was just asking to see of there was an

Can one add connection points to shapes using the GUI or does one need
to edit the shape to do it? I want a rectangle with more than one
connection point on each side.

I want some big brackets (as in very tall { and } characters), can
anyone suggest a way to draw them easily? It's basically a long line
with a collection of quarter circles attached so I guess I could do it
that way but it feels a bit clumsy.

This seems a very silly/simple question but I can't work out the answer.
How do you edit text objects after creating them?
Either double clicking or right clicking on a text object brings up its
Properties but that doesn't allow you to edit the text.
