Select all shapes that is connected to a Shape

[Kannan]

Is their any way in viso to choose all shapes that is connected to a Shape
by line connector

Through code.

You can walk the shapes collection to find the line connectors and then walk
the line connectors connection collections (there is a from and a to
collection) to find out who they are connected to.

If you want to select the shapes connected to a line, you can select a line
and run VBA code to change the selection to the shapes connected to the line
using the lines connection collections.
