Omg! I have been struggling for years making flow charts in numbers. This is Christmas morning!

Gary, as always, your video make my life easier. This is great for all the process charts I need to do as well as for organizational charts. Connection lines were always my issue, but with your tips, they've become the easiest thing for me. You've proven that your patreon subscription is worth every cent!

Thank you Gary! I’ve tried to understand this, and love that you have finally tackled this on your cast. You are the best!

Awesome. Always thought that curved lines were only for free flowing lines. Angle lines is a great saver. Thanks a ton for sharing this 👍

I didn't know anything about using connection lines. Thanks for the explanation!

Thank you so much Gary, I finally found the connection line info from you!

A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏🏻❤️

Hi Gary. Great tip. As an extra bit of info, when doing this in Pages, once you place your shape, you have to go to "Arrange" and ensure that the "Object Placement" of the shape is set to "Stay.on Page," otherwise, the connection lines do not snap to the shape.

Cool stuff, this also works in Numbers! I prefer using numbers since it's similar to Freeform but with much more power and capabilities.

Great Tips, well presented. Thanks Gary

Thank you.

Thanks very much, Gary, for this fascinating and informative video! Some useful revision here!

Thanks, Gary. 👍

Thanks for such content it was very very useful for me , you're awesome

Terrific - will be very useful.

Three things I wish you could do and currently without them can cause great frustration. (1) anchor a connection point.now when you adjust the connection line, the connection point moves around the connected object and even change the sides in which it’s connected. I would like the option to be able to determine where the line connects and it be anchored so it does not change. (2) jump lines. In drafting, when two lines cross you place a half circle at the intersection point so that one line appears to jump over the other line. If the jump is not there then where those line cross they would be connected as a junction. (3) and lastly it would be great it you could add additional adjustment points on the line. As it is now you only have one and that can make it difficult to arrange connection lines so that they don’t end up slicing through other object on the slide or page.

Cool!

Thanks bunches

awesome g

Hey, just like Visio!

We need the curved line flexibility for text boxes

Hey Gary, off topic... Not sure if you do this but if you could make videos pertaining to audio production and the mac you'd find a whole new audience. Like connecting mac to audio interfaces and routing/ i o. Audio/midi setup. The sound preference. Then you can delve into the popular audio applications like Logic.Ableton, Pro tools and al the rest. All mac related. Lotta views in that arena!

I love your videos. Before I retired I used excel at work on a PC platform. Now retired I don’t have a PC or a MacBook but I have a basic iPad and also a iPhone. When in numbers how can you display the function details/examples like you do? Does that only work with Mac computers? Can I do it with my iPad or iPhone? If so how?

Gary does it work in Pages or only Freeform and Keynotes?

Hey Gary, what about animating the connection lines or shapes? Can you force the connection line to stick to an animated object in Keynote?

Actually, most of the things here I would prefer to do them on apps like Pages.

hi gary can you tell me how i can create my pdf file created in pages turn into fillable pdf form like a chart? without additional software

my lines do not move like that, and when i do get them to move when it goes to connect it just disappears

I tried to make a family tree using freeform, but it's annoying you can't connect connection lines to other connection lines. You can only connect them to objects... :(
