Shape not identified in visio using c#

Question

Hi am trying to read the content of a visio page where as am able to read the below images and it shapes along with the connectors too ,where as am able to read this type of connectors,

but am not able to identify the connectors of the below image but an able to nread the content of the image. enter image description here

the below method is to find wether its connectors or not

    private bool IsConnector(Shape shape)
    {
        string objType = shape.get_Cells("objType").Formula;
        if (objType == "2")
            return true;
        return false;
    }

where as if the connector is in the shape similar to first image then am getting value 2 in objTyp ,but it return value 0 for second image.

I need to know what is the purpose of using string objType = shape.get_Cells("objType").Formula; ,because it return 2 for connectors in firstImage and other value for connector in second image
Why it return other that 2 for the connectors in second image.

You could be using the Shape.OneD property because all connectors are OneD == 1 (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff768968.aspx ) The ObjType cell (https://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/office/ff765987.aspx) specifies if a an shape is placeable or routable. In the second image it is quite possible that the connectors are merely connecting the images together, and are not actually routable.
