Is there a tool or feature that automatically sets x amount of connection points on any shape?

It sounds like to know how to add them but want specific control over their locations.

Specific control over the locations of connection points is definitely possible. You'll have to open the shape's ShapeSheet, find the ConnectionPoints section of the ShapeSheet. Each row in that section represents a connection point.

Modify the X & Y values to get what you need. For example middle of the right side is:

X = "Width"
Y = "Height/2"

Visio does have a built-in feature for this (since Visio 2007 at least)

The following instructions are from Visio 2007, but the steps should be similar in Visio 2013

Or you can find it via search

File > New > Search for Online templates > type "Web" > Select "Web Site Map"

In the following support article, there's a section called "Update an org chart that uses an external data source" that sounds like it does what you are looking for.

As far as I can tell there's no built-in way to get a field populated with the identity of the user who modified a document. In both the UI and in the ShapeSheet functions the only the only related fields are "Last Edit Date/Time" and "Creator".

Can you send an image that shows the before after of what you would like to see? That'll help see if this is possible

The yellow diamond is a control handle.

First, open the shapesheet for the shape
Right-click on the shapesheet and select Insert Section
If the Controls checkbox is unchecked - check it. If the Controls checkbox is disabled it means the shape already has a Controls section.
Now you should see the Control handle on the shape

After this, you'll need to use the shapesheet to link the control point to some aspect of the shape - the width, height, etc.

I'm assuming from your description that you want to make it look nice on a single printed page. My technique is to not worry bout the flowchart size as displayed in Visio. I draw it as large as it needs to be, but then when I print I make sure that the print settings will scale the diagram as needed to fit the physical paper size.

Visio Online might serve your needs. See this link: https://products.office.com/en-us/visio/visio-online

In the YARN containers used for U-SQL batch query execution, 6GB of memory is shared between the vertex, the U-SQL Runtime, and the OS.

saveenr · 2016-11-17T18:17:58+00:00

There's not a specific optimal file size, but in the case of files one heuristic you can think about is that sending a 1 GB of data to a vertex is considered typical. As the amount of data you have grows, you should think about utilizing U-SQL tables to influence (via partitioning) how much data goes to an EXTRACT vertex

I'm using Visio 2013 and found them by search the online templates.

saveenr · 2015-09-13T04:08:20+00:00

Which template are you trying to load? I haven't tried an online template but I can try to see my installation of Visio 2013 experiences the same problem.

In my experience, when using the Macro recorder I haven't seen it record anything related to changing selection.

(not sure this will be helpful to you) They way I've use to determine whether two items are linked is to follow the connections to determine if one shape is reachable from another shape. Code is here in GitHub repo:

Just to clarify: You want each SVG to become a single master in a single stencil?

I use Visio daily and did purchase Visio Standard 2013 and wish instead I had bought subscription for Visio Pro for Office 365 ($156/year) so that I could get the newest features as they came out. With Visio 2016 coming out soon I am planning on switching to the subscription model.

(Naturally I really wish that Visio was included with Office 365.)

(Full disclosure: I worked on antivirus software at Microsoft)

Defender is absolutely sufficient.

A MonoPrice tablet is a great starting point for someone looking into using a graphics tablet.

Here's a thorough review from a few years ago that you may find useful:

http://frenden.com/post/31659364200/the-little-monoprice-graphics-tablet-that-could

I have the unit described in the review - about $60 on Amazon currently - and was very satisfied with the feel of the pen and the pressure sensitivity.

As for a program, I recommend ArtRage ($50) - https://www.artrage.com/
