Visio 2016 Pro keeps crashing. I am running Windows 10 with 32GB RAM.
I have tried:
-Running in safe mode
-Online repair of both Office 2016 ProPlus and Visio 2016
-Uninstall/Reinstall Office 2016 ProPlus and Visio 2016
-Windows Update
-Disabling hardware graphics acceleration
Nothing has helped. I have run OffCAT to diagnose the problem and here are the results:

I need to get this working as I need to create a rather complex flowchart for work.
Hi,
When trying to connect between two shaped when I use the Dynamic connector (in home-tool) the connector does not highlight the connection point I am hoovering above, rather the entire shape.
When connecting it to the other shape it again does not highlight the connection point and decides to connect it to another.
Can anyone help.

Hi. I am attempting to follow the instructions in this MS post and support article "Design a Microsoft Flow in Visio".
Everything looks fine, but I do not see Process - Prepare to Export nor any other items under Microsoft Flow in the Ribbon. I am using Visio 1903 build 11425.20244 Monthly Channel. Is the problem that I am not Monthly Channel (Targeted) and simply need to wait? If not, any suggestions?
Hi. Sorry if this is a dupe-I posted it to Visio 2010 by mistake. I am attempting to follow the instructions in this MS post and support article "Design a Microsoft Flow in Visio".

I have the kind of weird situation that when I copy (<ctrl>+<c>) a drawing from visio to insert into word, the canvas in word does not resize the visio drawing to fit the canvas but keeps the same size and cuts the rest off.
Disconnecting the displays from usb-displayport resolves this and it works as expected.

Hi,
I had 16 MB visio file with multiple pages. I removed multiple pages so it left only 2 pages left. The file size was still 8 MB. Then I tested even more, I removed all objects from both pages saved. The results was:
02.05.2019Â 17:18Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 4Â 472Â 257 From 16MB to empty.vsdx
And I compare this from scratch, so that I open new document having two empty pages:
02.05.2019Â 17:19Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 12Â 042 Pure Empty.vsdx
When I unpack the file there was:
- 2 MB of the objects I have used
- 20 MB of XML files (230 of them)
It is not surprise that handling the file like that is extremly slow.

I am using VISIO 2007 and I copied a MACRO from the VISIO GUT website that displays and fits all the pages into the Windo. When I went to compile it, I received an error on the statement "Private Function m_uiGetActiveDrawingWindow() As Visio.Window". I have no other information that I can give you because all I get is a dialog box that displays just that message. Below is the code that I pasted into the MACRO editor. I am a NEWBIE when it come to using MACROS in VISIO. So, here is the code:
Option Explicit
Const MESSAGE_CAPTION$ = "Fit All Pages"
Â
Public Sub SetAllPagesToFit()
Â
 '// Get the active window, if it is a drawing window:
 Dim win As Visio.Window
 Set win = m_uiGetActiveDrawingWindow()
 If (win Is Nothing) Then Exit Sub
Â
 Dim doc As Visio.Document
 Dim pg As Visio.Page, pgOrig As Visio.Page
Â
 Set pgOrig = win.Page
 Set doc = pgOrig.Document
Â
 '// Fit each window. -1 is the zoom value for
 '// fit-to-page:
 For Each pg In doc.Pages
  win.Page = pg
  win.Zoom = -1
 Next
Â
 '// Return the window to the original page:
 win.Page = pgOrig
Â
End Sub
Â
Private Function m_uiGetActiveDrawingWindow() As Visio.Window
Â
 '// Checks the active window to see if it is
 '// a drawing window. If not, an error is presented
 '// to the user.
 Set m_uiGetActiveDrawingWindow = Nothing
 Dim win As Visio.Window
 If (Visio.ActiveWindow Is Nothing) Then
Â
   Call MsgBox("This code requires an active drawing " & _
               "window to function properly!", , _
                MESSAGE_CAPTION$)
    Exit Function
Â
 End If
Â
 Set win = Visio.ActiveWindow
 If (win.Type <> Visio.VisWinTypes.visDrawing) Then
Â
   Call MsgBox("The active window is not a drawing " & _
               "window. Please make sure the active " & _
               "window is a drawing window!", _<br /> , MESSAGE_CAPTION$)
Â
   Exit Function
Â
 End If
Â
 Set m_uiGetActiveDrawingWindow = win
Â
End Function
I am admin in Russian visio forum, today user added a question about this subject.
I havn't Visio'2013, and cann't help him. There is my translate
In previous Visio's versions the grid was displayed quite clearly, but in 2013 it seems hardly visible. It is necessary to strain sight!
Whether it is possible to increase its contrast somehow?
It is strange that in standard settings there is no such option.Â
Where this control can be changed?
Can't sign in my account in Visual Studio IDE.
Before, I have signed in my account but when I sign out then sign in again I got an error
"We could not refresh the credentials for the account
An error occurred while sending the request."
I tried several suggestions from Tech support but none of them works.
Below are some suggestions that I've tried:
Hello,
I have a page that contains many shapes. How can I make a duplicate of the page in the same drawing?
If I copy the contents of the page with Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C and paste it to a blank page then many shapes look yellow in color.
I am using Visio 2010.
I am actually using Visio 2016. I have created many diagrams using a variety of the standard stencils that were part of my initial installation onto my laptop. This is not an online version.Â
When I open previous files with stencil objects in them, they appear and function just fine. My problem is not being able to open the Shapes Window.
I have checked in the Options->Advanced->Shape Setting and it seems to be setup correctly. Not sure what has changed. Any ideas on what has happened ?
I am trying to turn on the Developer Tab on Visio 2013. I have some shapes I copied from another document, and didn't realize the shapes had the protected flags enabled, now I can't move them, delete them, or modify them in any way.Â
Everytime I go into "Customize the ribbon" and try to enable the Developer tab, once I click OK, i can see the ribbon flicker, but the developer tab doesn't appear, when I go back to the "Customize the ribbon" panel, the Developer tab is un-ticked.
I have tried going into the C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Visio to confirm that the folder is not "read only" something someone suggested for a similar issue with Excel, but it didn't work for me. Is there anywhere I can look for logs that can tell me what may be going wrong when trying to enable the development tab?
I have tried even creating a blank new document and enabling the development tab, and it still fails to enable. I know it used to work when I had Visio 2010. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I'm using Visio 2016.
I have created my own stencils under my shapes and I want to create a template from it. I've put the template on our SharePoint site but the shapes are only available to me, how do I make them visible to everybody else?

Hi all,
I use visio for collegues who don't have dwg/dxf access.
To discuss factory layouts a dwg plan is the blueprint and machines are displayed as custom made shapes.
To avoid shape size being resized I would like to protect them. There is the option to do so in developers tab and this works after insertion. I would like to know if the default setting of a shape can be set as "protected" on certain items when inserting from library to the sheet.
Best regards,
Wilco
Hello,
I have installed MS Office 2016 (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc) and Visio 2016 Professional and MS Project 2016 Professional on a DELL laptop with MS Windows 10 Enterprise version 1703.
All these applications worked in the past (January 2017?).
Today I tried to start Visio and Visio crashed directly during the startup. The same happens with MS Project. The other Office applications are working without problems.
The Visio and the MS Project crash create entries in the Windows EventLog. The "Faulting Module" is the same in both cases:
Faulting application name: VISIO.EXE, version: 16.0.4266.1001, time stamp: 0x55ba15fc

I tried "Repair" on Visio -> nothing changed
I uninstalled and reinstalled Visio -> nothing changed
Is there any idea how this can be fixed?
Thanks
