Visio network bus shape - how to add connection points

[rob1953]

I have a "bus" shape that I have been using for some time, but don't know
where I got it from - I don't see it in any of the standard shape stencils.
However, I need to add more connection points to it and cannot find a way to
do so. Can someone advise how to do this - and/or which stencil it could be
included in. In case it's not clear what shape I'm referring to, it's the
one you can use to drag a connection from a bus (like ethernet) to many
boxes, and they all automatically line up and connect - the "from" point on
the bus slides along so the line remains vertical.

don't know what version you are using, but the ethernet one in v2003
(network and peripherals) supports 64 connections based on what is in the
shapesheet. It's a shapesheet thing.

If this is a drawing, that is not interrogated by software, but is only
printed or observed, there is a cheat.

If you drop a second bus on top of the first, it will appear as though the
shape has gained extra connection points. Any program examining the drawing
will notice the difference.
