Hi Steve
Thank you for reaching out to the Community! There is in fact a way to accomplish what you are looking for. If you go to the options bar at the very top left of the document there is a section titled "View." In the "View" drop down menu there is a toggle called "Enable Line Connections." Clicking on this will stop lines from automatically making connections. However if you want lines to function like they were before you will need to toggle them back on.
View --> Enable Line Connections.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Cheers
