Thank you, Paul.
I was close, having tried several setting changes, but see that you have turned off more than I had considered.
Will add GUARD to the angle, since need this connector to not change angle when moved between 2 shapes (male-square, female-circle).
Next task is to try to add a -135 deg line across the center (indicates marital "separation" in a genogram) or double -135 deg lines, same location (indicates marital divorce in a genogram). This requires grouping to customize as described, which so far has eluded my ability to maintain connection points (so these 2 lines-separation or divorce-can also be used to connect between 2 (male square symbol and female circle symbol) shapes. Challenging for me. Will keep trying.
Again, thank you very much for your help.
