Reroute Connectors in PowerPoint

Reroute Connectors is a feature available in PowerPoint that helps to find the shortest path between two connected objects with lines. Having the line selected (once it is connected between objects or shapes) you can click on Reroute Connector to automatically reroute the lines finding the shortest path.

In this example we have used different connector types for the lines. As you can see, the left connector used the elbow connector type while the second connector in the image uses curved connector type. For the last connector we just leave the straight connector type.

Some connector types lets you reroute the connectors manually. For example, the elbow and straight connectors has a yellow diamond that lets you adjust the curve and the position for the connector angles.

And here is an example of yellow diamond for the elbow line connector type.
