How do you make the connection point of a shape snap to the connection point of another shape?
For example, you can see this type of behavior in shapes like Racks and rack equipment.
Do you mean glue or snap?
Here are some articles about connection points...

Ah. Just remembered this post...go to end. Both Yacine and I have interesting examples. http://visguy.com/vgforum/index.php?topic=8042.msg34713 (http://visguy.com/vgforum/index.php?topic=8042.msg34713)
Here's updated version of my file.
A key point, and I don't remember the sequence, but a connection points type =out will glue to type = in, but type = in will not glue to an out...or it's the other way round. The point being there is an ordered sequence.
...And 1 more key point. When dragging a shape to be glued to another shape, place the mouse cursor near the connection point of interest before dragging. This helps Visio to focus on that connection point and improves the gluing process.
Thanks, I see how that works.
But I still have a question.
I have attached a file with some stencils from CISCO.
Both the switch stencil and the module have all of the connection points set to Type/C 0.
The module still glues to the switch.
Why?
Can't get to the stencils, I'm being asked to sign in to a MS account.
The module shape is 1 one-dimensional shape, even though it looks like two-dimensional. That makes it a connector (rather than a standard 2D shape) which act differently.
1D shape, never thought of that.
I'll have to look into why the stencil would not open for you.
Thanks to all of you for the help.
Are you using Visio Online?
Or are you saving documents/stencils in a cloud account?
The directory is local but connected to a OneDrive account.
Yep, it is an OneDrive issue. The file that I thought was local is not.
