Short attention span viewer here,,, thanks !

Love the contents. Thanks for keeping it short. Not a fan of the inaccurate terminology: Button - > node, anchor/connection point Glue - > connect, anchor, bind Words mean things, terminology determines how people think.

Thanks for the tips. Is there a way to create loose / freehand connectors? I want to create multiple arrows going to and from a box but don't want them to be glued to the shape.

[@Jaisriram5799]

Do we have any option in Visio where .... the lines are highlighted based on the shape you choose... Means I have 5 Shapes in my visio ... then what I want is when hover or click on my shape-1 box... then I should be able to see the lines/connectors high lighted ....

[@kevinmanz6891]

You should have created them shapes in a different layer.

[@reinhardjesmart169]

thank you but how do i straighten the connector? i find it always comes a right angle type

[@reinhardjesmart169]

i want to straighten without going to straighten manually

[@LikeABossLearning]

try Design tab | Connectors in the Layout group | Select Right Angle, Straight Lines, or Curved Lines

[@skinnersbollox]

My Visio isn't behaving like this at all? I've got the latest O365 version

[@LikeABossLearning]

Hmm... my guess is that you're using the browser version instead of the desktop version.

[@skinnersbollox]

@@LikeABossLearning Hi there, I found the problem. It seems my glue was not activated in the layers. I changed this setting and now I can do all the connections as per your video.

[@LikeABossLearning]

@@skinnersbollox glad to hear it; hope the vid helps!

[@ronh1850]

Visio is ridiculous... frustrating that you basically have to take a mini-course to get the connectors the way you want them, in order to do real work. Ugh

[@LikeABossLearning]

I hear you... one of the many Microsoft technologies (12 versions of Windows 10???) that's overly complex by half
