(?) How-to add ports to connector objects

https://www.mydraw.com/forum/Topic119.aspx

Sometimes I want to connect the ends of two (or more) connectors together. I know that it's possible to add ports to objects, including adding them to connectors, but I'm not good at controlling where the ports appear on the object. This is particularly troublesome (for me) with Bezier curve connectors. I'd like to add a port to each end of the connector; the ports should move with the connector's ends.

Anybody know how?

Attached to this post is a MyDraw drawing, containing a bezier curve with two ports attached to the begin and end points of the curve. The result is achieved with expressions that bind the ports coordinates to the coordinates of the geometry begin and end points. For more information about expressions and formulas see these topic:
