our company is a Silver Microsoft Partner and our core product is a facility manangment addin for MS Visio.
Actually we have a really huge problem since Visio 2013, for us and for all our customers. Right until now we try to let them stick to Visio 2010 because one major point is not usable. We often need to make changes to the form of a shape and we do this with the pencil tool. Now, since Visio 2013 the visible control points in the pencil mode are not visible in the same way as in Visio 2010. And in Visio 2016 it get even worse. Actually the Control Points in pencil mode are almost invisible.
I Show you 2 pictures of the same file and shape with the same zoom factor and being in pencil mode. One pic in Visio 2010 and one picture in Visio 2016, I think you get the point.
As you can see, it is almost impossible to see the control Points and therefore its nearly impossible to make changes to the form of a shape. At least it takes about double or triple time to make the same
changes.
Is there any Chance to get a better visibility back in future versions of Visio?
Edit: Unfortunately the froum software doesn't allow me to paste images or links right now, even not as text only)...so i paste the pictures later by request. But i think you will know what i mean when u open any shape in Visio 2016 and go in pencil mode and try to see the control points yourself.
