I am trying to draw a basic line.  Everything I've read makes it sound easy "simply hover over the box of the org chart and red dots will appear".  Thing is they don't usually appear.  I have to click on a bunch of different things trying to get them appear then cannot easily turn them off when I'm done. Typically if I hover and drag from the org box it creates a "box" and not a line.  Different red dots though then the ones to create a line.

Do I need to be in some special setting to be able to see the red dots to draw a line?

Hi there thanks for posting in the community! To create a new line in an org chart,  first select the chart by double-clicking. The dots show up after clicking on a shape in the Org Chart, clicking on one adds a new employee according to the location that you added it. 

 

You can also manually draw a line by selecting the line from the Shapes panel. For more information please see our Org Chart article from our Help Center and post any questions below!
