20 years of working in the electrical industry has resulted in me developing affinities to certain brands or products. As a result, I draw components based around Schneider motor control components, Ideal wire connectors, and Decora receptacles. I am not affiliated with any of these companies, I just like their stuff.

How I can make connector to a family tree diagram. I need to connect two persons (husband and wife) and from the middle take the connector to another group. Additionally how I can auto connect from EXcEL data. ( Husband and wife)

Hi Joel, my wirings are overlaping themselves without that bridge that we can see in your samples. Do you know how to fix this? I'm using Visio 2021 Professional. Thanks

Hi. You will find that under "Page Setup" options which can be accessed from the ribbon, or through Shift+F5. There is a tab on the dialog box called "Layout and Routing" that lets you select when and how the Hops are applied. My personal styles is to only use hops on the horizontal lines
