About the connections lines (they doesn´t move, according you are drawing the tracks)

Since more of 20 years, I am working with  Protel 98. I am happy with this programm, but it is very old (it has 23 years this software), and I thought in jump to  DesignSpark.

I have spent several hours reading the documents I have found. I miss an user manual, where should be explained everything about the programm (even if this user manual would have a lot of pages), because I miss a lot of very basic things, that I don´t know how to accomplish...

I have learnt to draw basic schematics, to make my own sch symbols, pcb symbols and components.

The "line connection", connects in straight way a pad with others pads (let´s say, the "origin pad", with the "end pad"). Well, according I am drawing the track from the "origin pad", I expect, the "line connection" should move, from the last track drawn, until the "end pad" (showing always the shortest way), but even if the track drawn should be near of the "end pad", the connection line is drawing from the origin pad, to the end pad.

So, my question is, how could I do, for the connection line should be "moving", according I draw the track?

Thanks by listen me.
