Hi ChrisD1610,

However, the implementation does not seem to be complete, see here:
https://python-pptx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dev/analysis/shp-connector.html
I also needed to control the path of the line in my use case, which was also not straightforward to implement, so I did not persist much further.
Hope that is helpful!
