If you want to remove a control point to change the shape of your connector, first reposition a line segment so that the control point to delete is on a straight segment, not at a corner.
In the following example, a line segment needs to be repositioned vertically or horizontally so that the connector contains only right angles. After a line segment is repositioned, a control point can be deleted.

To delete a control point
-
Click the connector to select it.
-
Move a segment of the connector so the control point you want to delete is in the middle of a straight segment.
-
Ctrl + click the control point to delete it.
Note: Control points at the angles of a connector cannot be deleted. You can only remove control points on straight line segments. The cursor changes to a pen tip with a minus sign to indicate that a control point can be deleted from a connector.
The small blue circle on the connector disappears, indicating the control point is deleted.
