Hold the left mouse button and drag it down.

You have drawn a Process box.
A Process box represents a step or an event in the entire process.
We can insert text in flowchart objects, too.
Double-click on the Process box.

Enter the text “Create the Tutorial Outline to chunk content into 10-minute scripts” inside it.

Let’s double-click on the Process box and type the text “Create the Tutorial Outline to chunk content into 10-minute scripts” inside it.
Formatting options for flowcharts are also similar to that of other objects.
Now, let’s align the text inside the Process box.
Select the text >> Right-click for the Context menu and click Text Let us select the text.

Right-click to view the Context menu and click Text.

The Text dialog box appears The Text dialog box appears.
Check the box “Resize shape to fit text width” >> Click OK. In the Text dialog box, check the box Resize shape to fit text width.

The text has adjusted itself to fit the shape of the Process box.
Draw a process box beneath it.

Go to the Drawing toolbar >> Move the mouse over the Flowcharts icon >> Click on the small black triangle >> click Flowchart: Process >> go to the Draw page and draw the object.

In the same manner, let us now draw another Process box beneath the first one.
Enter the text “Create Scripts” inside it.

<<Refer Figure One>>

Let us insert the text “Create Scripts” inside it.<Pause>
Go to the Drawing toolbar >> Move the mouse over the Flowcharts icon >> Click on the small black triangle >> click Flowchart: Decision >> go to the Draw page and draw the object.

Enter the text “Review Okay”?

Now, lets draw a Decision box and insert the text “Review Okay?” inside it. <Pause>
A Decision box represents a decision that has to be made.

It directs us to the next process based on the outcome of the decision.

Go to the Drawing toolbar >> Move the mouse over the Flowcharts icon >> Click on the small black triangle >> click Flowchart: Process >> go to the Draw page and draw the object. Let us now draw another Process box beneath the Decision box.


Type the text “Record Video”. Let us insert the text “Record Video” inside it.<Pause>
Circle the area with the mouse to show its approximate location. Next, we need another Decision box here, with the text “Review Okay?”
Point to the earlier Decision box and then point to the empty space after “Record Video” process box. Let’s copy the Decision box we created before and place it here.
Select the decision box “Review Okay”.

Press CTRL+C

Now enter the text “Review Okay” inside it.

Go to the Drawing toolbar >> Move the mouse over the Flowcharts icon >> Click on the small black triangle >> click Flowchart: Connector >> go to the Draw page and draw the connector as shown in Figure FOUR. Finally let’s draw a flowchart-connector and type A inside it. <Pause>


A flowchart-connector connects two parts of a flowchart.
Point to the flowchart page in the thumbnails on the left panel Let’s say that the first part of the flowchart is on one page …..
Point to the next page in the thumbnails on the left panel ….. and the second part on another page.
Come back to the flowchart page.

Point to the connector. Select and copy the connector.

We draw a flowchart-connector at the end of the flowchart on the first page.
Go to the next page .

Now paste the connector.at the beginning of the page.

Then we draw the same connector at the beginning of the second page.
Point to the objects Before we connect the objects, let us learn about Connector Lines and Glue Points in Draw.
Show Slide 4

Connectors Connectors are lines or arrows Whose ends are attached or docked to an object.

Connectors are lines or arrows Whose ends are attached or docked to an object.

Show Slide 5

Glue Points Glue points are the points That glue the connectors to the objects All objects have glue points.

<<On another slide >>
Glue Points These are invisible. They become visible When a connector is selected from the Drawing toolbar When the mouse pointer is moved over an object.

Glue points as the name indicates are the points That glue the connectors to the objects. All the objects have glue points.

These are invisible; They become visible When a connector is selected from the Drawing toolbar or When the mouse pointer is moved over an object.

Show Slide 6

Glue points are not the same as handles. We use handles to re-size the object. Glue points are used to glue the connector to an object.

Glue points are not the same as handles. We use handles to re-size the object. Glue points are used to glue the connector to an object.

Point to the objects Now, let us connect the objects in the flowchart using connectors.
Drawing toolbar >> click on Connector Go to the Drawing toolbar and select Connector.
Click on the small black triangle next to Connector. Click on the small black triangle to see the different types of Connectors.
Select “Straight Connector ends with arrow”. Let us select the option Straight Connector ends with Arrow.
Point to the small crosses that appear on the flow chart objects in the draw page. When you select the Connector, you will see cross marks on all the objects in the Draw page.

These are the glue points.

Use the “Straight Connector ends with arrow” and join the two process boxes as shown in Figure One.

Now let’s draw a line from the glue point of the first process box to glue point of the next process box.

Move the mouse from top to down on the Draw page

We will connect all the flowchart objects, in a top-to-down manner using connectors. <Pause>
<<Please draw connectors as shown in Figure One.>> You will notice that the every line automatically docks itself to the nearest glue point, wherever you place the cursor. <Pause>
Next let’s connect the Process and Decision boxes.
Click on Drawing toolbar >> select Connector.

Select “Connector ends with arrow”.

From the Drawing toolbar, select the option Connector ends with Arrow.
Draw an arrow as shown in Figure One. From the Process box let’s connect to the Decision box.
Drawing toolbar >> click on the small black triangle next to Connector >> select “Connector ends with arrow”.

Draw an arrow as shown in Figure One.

Similarly, let’s connect the Decision box with the next Process box.
You can also add text to a connector.
On the connector from the Decision box to the Process box, let us type “No”.
Select the connector to the right.

Double-click on it.

To select the connector, just double-click on it.


The end control points become active.

And the text cursor appears.

Type the text No. Let us type the text “No”.
Do this once more for the other connector.

<<Refer to Figure One.>>

Let us do this once more for the other connector.

Press Ctrl+S keys to save the document.

We have created a simple flowchart!

Let’s save our flowchart by pressing Ctrl+S keys.

Point to the Lines and Arrows tool in the Toolbar. Lines and arrows is the next tool to the right of Connectors in the Drawing Toolbar. You can also connect the objects using lines and arrows, too.
Circle the mouse over all the objects from top to bottom in a clock-wise manner, to indicate that they should be grouped. But in that case, you should group the objects.

This is because arrows do not stay docked to objects.

Show Slide 7

Connectors and Arrows How are connectors different from Lines and Arrows? Connectors are lines or arrows Whose end points are automatically docked To the glue point of an object. Lines and Arrows do not dock automatically.

How are connectors different from Lines and Arrows? Connectors are lines or arrows Whose end points are automatically docked To the glue points of an object. Lines and Arrows, on the other hand, do not dock automatically.
