Created attachment 145398 [details] Visual examples of "grouping" connectors with sharp vs rounded edges Please add a new connector type, that works like the standard one, but has rounded edges. In diagrams, I often want to merge connectors going from multiple boxes into a single box. That is, connectors, going out from multiple boxes, meet at some point and then go - as a single line - into the target box. This helps reduce visual noise. It communicates, that these connectors, all do the same thing. Using connectors currently available in Draw, I get close to the desired result. There is a problem though. Because these connectors meet at straight angles, they do not visually guide the eye into the right direction. This can be an issue in large diagrams, where there might be a distance between the connected boxes. Connectors with rounded edges, would "flow" into the big connector lane and give visual guidance. See attachment for more visual examples.
