How Do I Draw A Connected Line?

I am only trying to create a traditional slide with boxes that are joined by lines.    I am not using a responsive project.   But there does not seem to be a way to create a nice looking flow chart with connectors (lines) that connect to the shapes and move when you move the shape.  Do I have to draw this type of thing outside Captivate 8?

Thanks

Captivate has no connectors, sorry.

    Thanks for your fast response.  I hope it is on their to do list. 

    Maybe I just don't "get" Captivate yet - I am a new user - but it seems like a big omission to me.

    Fair enough. 

    The reason it seems like a good idea is that they supply shapes and they supply lines. The ability to have them stick to one another would make creating simple hierarchical diagrams much faster without having to go outside the tool.   In the same way I don't have to go into Photoshop to draw a shape and shade it.  Thank you again for your help.  For speed I prefer not to go outside the tool for these simple diagrams. I'll just have to put the lines in at the very end when I have stopped moving things around.


    You have a snapping feature and to keep objects together you can group them.
