Export a Visio file to use as a interactive document director?

Hey,

I just finished creating a Visio file which is a word document selection model/form (click on links on page to bring up word documents).

I have hyperlinked all the buttons but my major issue is deciding which format to export this to so my department team members can access:

-PDF works however gives user 3 security questions before loading the linked document.

-Webpage works but requires HTML support files to be saved wherever the user saves the HTML parent file.  

A flash document would be ideal but dont even know if this is supported anymore, it has been years since I used flash to be honest.

Does anyone know of an export option I can try?

Thanks

Connectors don't stick to shapes anymore

Hello,

I have been working on a visio diagram with many pages. After a while, the connectors don't stick to the shapes anymore. i.e. I have two squar shapes and using an arrow to connect them (flow chart). Up to this point the arrows (connectors) were sitcking on both ends to the shapes and if I move the shapes arrow adjusted itself too. Now the arrow end stays where it was when I move the shape.

Auto connect option in the advanced menu is on. This has happened to me in the past also, after working on a document for a while this annoying issue came abut. BTW, this is visio 2010.

thank you for your help.

Hi,

Trying to deploy Visio 2013 Standard with ODT with SCCM. I can't seem to download Visio 2013. My config looks like this but when it downloads it fails. This is with the 2016 ODT.

I tried with 2013 and it seems to download, but when I then run setup.exe /configure config.xml  it tells me the Product VisioStdXVolume is invalid? Even though it downloaded it.

Thanks

However, when I link a certain row ( after importing the external data Data > Link Data to Shapes > Selected excel and columns >imported data  ) the text does not appear inside the shape.

It simple links the particular row, the text does not appear inside the shape.

Please provide any guidance if possible.

I am using Visio 2016. I am facing the issue that when I draw a line with a connector connecting 2 shapes, the tip of the arrow starts getting pointed side wards instead of straight in Visio 2016. I can post an image of this if required.

 

I hope my query is clear that the tip of the arrow starts getting pointed side wards instead of straight.

 

Requesting a reply to my query.

Drag & drop to Visio mostly works ... need help with the last step

Hi. I'm embedding the Visio Drawing Control in a WPF app, and dragging masters from my WPF UI onto the drawing surface. It works well, with two exceptions. First, when I drag a master on top of a shape that's already on the surface, then drop the master, the existing shape is not automatically moved out of the way, as the full Visio app does.

Second, if I drag a master that has a connection point near an unattached connector, then drop the master, the connector does not automatically connect to the connection point. Again, this would happen if I were running the Visio app.

Is there some configuration option or code snippet I need to add to enable these functions?

Thank you,

WBS Add-in for Visio 2013 - Click to run

Hi,

So I've read a lot of other forum posts regarding the WBS add-in not working once installed and all seem to refer to .msi version.  However, I'm running the click to run version of Visio and after install, selecting WBS template from list, the WBS menu doesn't appear in the ribbon.

When I check the File>Options>Add-in section there aren't any to choose from.

I read one forum post that pointed out adding Office PIA but this isn't available for my version.  Also another that said to change the Visio install and add .NET Programmability Support but you can't do this with click to run installs as there's no option to change from Control Panel, only online and quick repair.

Has anyone else had this issue or know how I might be able to get this add-in working please?

Thanks

How to identify a Visio 2016 slide's internal name

Hello,

I am aware that each Visio slide has an internal name (e.g., 'Page 1') as well as an external name (i.e., the name that I give to the slide). I can only see the external names.

How can one find the internal name of a slide that corresponds to the slide’s external name? I have tried looking in the Shape Sheet for the slide but cannot identify it there.

Many thanks in advance,

Keith

Visio 2013 - Search local shapes not working ?

Hello everyone,

I'd like to share to you, one of the most frustrating thing I've experienced with Visio 2013.

I'm using tons of shapes and it's driving me crazy.

When I want to use the 'Search' pane in order to quickly find a shape, it always results as a  'No matches'.

I've already browsed some forums, and others discussions about this issue on Visio 2010.

I've already stopped/restart/rebuild my index service, moved my shapes, define the new folder. And still, it doesn't work. :(

I'm using Visio 2013, on a Windows 7 on my main computer and I'm facing the same issue on my laptop running 8.1.

Thanks :)

VISIO 2013 - stencils do not open when I select a template for a new Visio document

I am using Visio 2013 Standard. Only downloaded it yesterday so hope I am not being a numpty. Looks like I click NEW | SELECT a TEMPLATE | and a new document should open showing the stencils that go with the template. Instead I get an empty document and no stencils. It happens with all templates. If I use the <more shapes> option then I do not see any extra stencils either. Can anyone help me?

Problem with resizing shapes

November 21, 2016, 5:39 am

Hello,

I have two identical shapes (they are both off-page references). Essentially, they are both squares, with 4 corner connector points and 4 middle-of-each-side connector points.

With one of them, when I try to resize a middle-of-side connector point, it resizes the entire shape symmetrically, shrinking or expanding both the height and the width.

With the other, when I do the same operation, it only resizes the side that such connector point is attached to.

There must be some setting that controls this?

Any ideas?

Many thanks.

Keith
