OOo Draw Offers many connectors, but their functionality is less than 
intelligent.

Here are few suggestions to extend their functionality -

(1) Connectors should evade objects, which are lying in between their paths.

(2) If one connector crosses over another connector, than it should âhopâ 
(Optionally)
(Please refer attached file - connector_hop.png)

(3) Auto glue point insertion -
While attaching a connector, standard glue points are shown and a user can 
attach to them.

If users want to attach the connector to a custom point, then they manually 
need to create custom glue points.

However an easier approach can be used. A user will start the connector from 
within the source object. At a point where connector crosses source object 
boundary, a custom glue point will automatically be created.

In the same way when a user drags the connector inside the destination object, 
then at a point where connector crosses destination object's border, a custom 
glue point will automatically be created.

(4) Connectors should try to use the shortest path, between source object and 
destination object (optionally).
