Visio - How do you collapse multiple visio drawings int a multisheet drawi
Asked By Michael Munfor

Is there an efficient way to collapse multiple individual drawings into a
single multi-sheet visio document?? I have 13 drawings that I want to
assemble and then use double-click behaviours on objects to switch pages...
If I try to add blank pages to the main drawing and use "copy drawing", my
connectors get mangled on the target sheet...

There is no built-in feature that takes multiple Visio files and turns
them into a multi paged single Visio file although it can be done with
custom code.
You may be copying a diagram to a page that has different layout
settings from the original and this could change the connector
behaviors. For example, if you copy an Org Chart created with the Org
Chart solution to a default blank page, you might not get the same
connector behaviors. Check File>Page Setup>Layout and Routing on both
the original and copied pages and verify that they are the same.

After much poking around and trial and error (based on your "Page Setup"
suggestion), I discovered the subtle difference that was causing my issues.
The original drawing (that is to be my "top-level" master drawing) had a
newer drawings had the default of '1 inch = 1 inch'. getting those matched
up, caused my "copy Drawing" function to bahave as expected....
Thanks for the pointer in the right direction!!
to be connected to which other 'O'. I can solve this by manually separating the connectors. However, if there are going to be hundreds or more connectors, an excessive amount of time would be spent manually rerouting connectors, and the end result is unlikely to look as presentable as it would if Visio had found optimal independent paths for all of the connectors. Surely the developers of Visio knew that many documents will require the ability to determine it again. I want to clarify what I'm asking. Visio doesn't really "merge connectors with similar paths" by default. It just seems to because of default snapping options. What paths from ending up visibly merged. In other words, by default there is nothing preventing connectors from routing colinearly, making connections ambiguous. What I am trying to find out is how option to fix (separate) any colinear lines after they have already been drawn (a "Reset Connectors"-like feature) without having to manually reroute hundreds of connectors. This seems like an important function for Visio to be able to perform since, really

Dynamic Connectors Change Position When Object Group is Rotated Visio I am new to Visio so I I am using Visio 2007 and I have a number of objects linked with dynamic connectors. I grouped all of the objects and connectors together into one group. When I select the group then "Rotate Right", the entire group rotates but most of my connectors move out of position. The connectors move all over the diagram even though the objects they're glued to stay in advance for any help you can provide.

Connectors Breed? Visio Got a few shapes with connectors between them. When I start moving shapes around, I have tb careful bc if I overlap things the wrong way, additional connectors seem to appear out of nowhere and attach themselves to the shapes.

Connectors not automatically rerouted Visio We are developing a page splitter, splitting a locng visio drawing into several pages. When splitting the drawing we need to cut connectors in two and draw one half on one page and the other half on the from the connector at the first page (and vice versa).

Are you adding Off Page Reference shapes at the cut ends of your connectors? 2. Have you considered simply increasing the page size to a multiple of the paper Ok, I understand. But the problem we are facing is that we already have all connectors routed. We have a special shape that the user manually edits in order for us have an idea of setting a value on all shapes that are to be splitted (connectors) and when we paste them we look on the original long page and copy its electrical.sandrila.co.uk / On Wed, 27 Aug 2008 02:08:11 -0700, Anders keywords: Connectors, not, automatically, rerouted description: We are developing a page splitter, splitting a locng visio drawing into several pages.
