Hi Regina,

I tried to create a gallery of electronics symbols. Consequently, I use lines,
polygons, rectangulars and circles all grouped together to create an object.
You can find a very simple example in Bug 94363.

In fact, before I drew the conclusion that the "glue point feature" is missing
I had tried several ways to attach glue points to an object and export it into
a gallery and import it back into a drawing.

Adding glue points
------------------

I found that glue points cannot be added, if the "Glue Points" toolbar is just
displayed per menu "View -> Toolbars -> Glue Points". Instead, when the "Glue
Points" toolbar is displayed after clicking on the "Glue Points" icon in the
"Drawing" toolbar, it really can be used to add glue points. (Unfortunately,
this behavior makes it less intuitive for the user to use glue points.)

Export/import of gallery objects
--------------------------------
First, I tried to export my objects per drag & drop into a new gallery. It
worked to some extend, but the preview in the gallery was not correct and the
re-import from the gallery into the drawing did not include the glue points. I
did not see any glue point and when I tried to connect a connector only the 4
default connection points were highlighted.

Second, I exported my objects into different vector format files (emf, wmf,
svg, svm) and added them by means of these files into the gallery. The gallery
preview was OK, but some formats (emf, wmf, svg) turned out to be spoiled
(slightly smaller than the original and off-grid) and all formats lacked the
glue points.

Afterwards I decided to file one bug ticket and this feature request.

Regards
Tom
