Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 3296
Xcl Exp: Connector lines
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:12:47 UTC
Connector lines between drawing objects in an imported MS-Excel document appears in the upper left corner of the document, and loses its attachment to the objects. New objects and connector lines copied from a openoffice drawing also appear in the upper left corner, but moves back into place once the object it is attached to is moved.
Hi Daniel, Excel Filter so it seems to be yours. Frank
After a test, the connectors appear at the correct position, but they are not connected to the objects. This has to be implemented.

Created attachment 4938 [details] Proof of Concept Patch to fix this
There are still some issues to consider: 1. I probably need to test this with more complex shapes 2. The connector glue point location appears differently after an Excel file is exported and re-loaded. But I notice the same behaviour with a PowerPoint Presentation.
Created attachment 4976 [details] Test WorkBook
The Test doc shows that this patch will fix all the connector examples except for the organizational chart on sheet5-1.
Created attachment 5227 [details] Update patch against calc06 CWS
I propose to commit this latest patch. It fixes this core issue that connectors are not attached to objects on import of Excel. There is a glitch with the organisational 3d chart on sheet 5_1, but I propose to create a separate issue for this as I am not convinced that is related to the attachment of connectors. I can successfully attach connectors to such 3d objects once thi spatch is applied.
checked in latest patch today and created related issue 12638.
