Yes, although you would have to create your own object to do that.
The connection points are defined in the .shape file, in section.

There are shape and sheet files which direct the placement of connection
points. Good luck.

OK, thanks for the ideas. I have edited shapes before so that would

It needs manual edition of the shape, but it's not hard enough to be afraid

Hello,
On an initial Standard Line, there is one connection point. You
can easily add more connection points to Standard Line (right-click and
then, in the pop-up menu, select "Add connection point"). Similarly,
you can delete connection points on Standard Line.

One trick you can use here is to create the class, then create a straight

can add as many connection points as you like.
Of course, if you were using these
