As part of my new job I will need to make engineering drawings.  My 
coworkers are using M$ Visio for this.  Naturally, I wanted to see if 
free software could work as well for me.  Dia seems a good choice, but I 
have the most experience with xfig.  I just realized, though, that xfig 
does not seem to support connector lines: lines that connect objects and 
stretch appropriately if those objects are later moved.  This web 
article says xfig CAN do this:

but I spent 2 hours on google and poking around in xfig, and I cannot 
figure out how!  Does anyone on this list know how to do connector lines 
in xfig?
