John has a macro file that will connect two spheres
with a cone. So if you have two spheres placed anywhere
in 3D space it will connect them. You have to provide
location of the spheres and it will do the rest. Having
actual spheres is not necessary as long as the right
coordinates are provided. It's worth a lookat anyway.

The macro can be downloaded from the MacroStation at:

http://twysted.net

There are several other macros available there and you might
find something else that better suits your purposes.

or from John's home page at:

John also has some thoroughly useful include files that are
worth looking at if you stop by there.

Well, it's very easy to connect two points with a cylinder or cone, since
those objects take two points as the centers of their ends.

cylinder{point1,point2,radius}

creates a cylinder between point1 and point2
Is this what you wanted?
