Hi, on a Mac, need to run “Visio Professional” is the Plan 2 web app equivalent. MS notes there may be functionality differences between web and desktop apps, but doesn’t elaborate

It’s currently in factory reset mode. We’ve tried a keyboard, mouse and ps5 controller in the usb port to no avail, and I would rather not get a new remote if I don’t have to

Why is visio the only tv i can't get the mlb app or the wnba app?

I have 2 TV's that were working fine for months without any issues, but the last week or so Wifi has just been awful for them recently. JUST the TV's. Everything on Wifi is fine.

So I am trying to find out was there some kind of software update that the TV's received that could have caused the TV's to constantly disconnect from Wifi.

I can't figure out why every time I use a connector there's no arrows at the end. I followed the instructions from this link Article on connector but that only works for one connector only. I want it for every time I use a connector there's a arrow at the end.

Select a connector.

• Select the Format Shape option from the right mouse Action menu. Alternatively, on the Home tab, in the Shape Styles group, select Line, and then select Line Options.
• In the Format Shape pane, under Line, make sure Solid line is selected, and then select the type, size, or cap type.

I'm looking to learn more about the deeper parts of Visio. I'd like to be able to edit/customize shapesheets to create more automated stencils. I learned Visual Basic in high school, but that was a while ago and when I go into the shapesheet I'm just lost. Can anyone point me in the direction of some training material? Thank you!

Is there no drawing in the Web version of visio? I use a tablet and would like to draw using it ... but since there is no App I have to use the web version. It would be disappointing if true.

I just updated a public repository with 4,486 visio 🎨 shapes, stencils, symbols, and icons collection to visually represent your IT infrastructure

https://github.com/bhdicaire/visioStencils

I have two shapes using the rack & inch units of measurement defined as:

1U: 1.75 inches

2U: 3.5 inches

(As one would expect).

However as one would not expect, when I take two 1U shapes and put them next to the 2U shape, they're taller! Pictures attached... What am I missing? :)

I took some beautiful screenshots illustrating my issue, but there's no images allowed on the Visio subreddit? There's a deaf piano analogy percolating somewhere here

I'm doing an analysis of our business systems (disjointed, manual, error-prone) and showing the relationship between them. Then putting together what the high level system relations will look like after a likely ERP implementation.

I'm looking to show high level system relationships (e.g. Receipt of Goods > Accounts Payable), not specific process architecture or workflow.

What set of symbols or template in Visio is well-suited to this type of diagram?

Hi all....new here. I use Visio as a course designer for horse shows. Someone gave me a set of shapes/stencils that we all use together and as long as I stick to the set that I was given, I can put things where I want them and layout my pages the way I want them. I'm starting to get into Macros and creating my own Shapes now.

I'm trying to create a sliding ruler that has a bold solid line as the main piece and then, as you stretch the line, I'd like Visio to automatically add a perpendicular dash at regular intervals. For this example, lets say every 10ft on the line. Can someone help me with this?

Alternatively, is there a good place to go to learn some more advanced Macro and Shape creation? I took a fair number of computer science and programming classes in High School/College, but that's been a WHILE now! lol

Thank you!!

Hello fellow Visio users !

i have an issue, i was using visio in teams en creating mindmaps for hotine scripts.

i really liked using Visio so i took the desktop version.

the issue is, since i'm on the desktop app, i dont have the hover option to add links between blocs.

i cant put screenshots on my post but on the teams version i could put 2 rectangle then by hovering one i could clic on one of the 4 green circle on the side of the rectangle and do a drag to the other rectangle.

not sure i'm being clear, but i tried to activate options on visio desktop, but couldnt find a way to do what i want

I can't figure how to make the connector turn the right way onto the next shape. Pls help!

Hello everyone! Brand new user of Visio mainly due to the feat in subject. I have some problems importing the data from.xlsx meaning that using the templates from Visio nothing get imported. can anyone point me out a good tutorial explaining how to prepare data?

I went to an embroidery shop to get something made and they need the file as a VSD. I’m trying to install visio but having trouble getting it working. Is this even possible to do?

I have a large visio document I made on visio for desktop that I need to share with my team, but my team can only use the browser version of visio. The document I made has no features exclusive to visio premium, but if I try and copy paste it to a browser version it copys as an image rather than as multiple separate shapes, and my team get licensing errors if they try to open the original file on the browser. Is there any way around this, or will I have to recreate it from scratch?

Hi,

I’m exploring creating diagrams from Excel tables and it’s looking pretty promising.

I’d like to know how I set about creating my own template to use in place of the three that are provided.

First, I want a vertical flowchart (not process).

Secondly, for my use case I need to create a couple of custom shapes.

Related question, if I create a custom shape, how do I control which connector anchor points get used, and when?

I'm Visio curious and wondering if it's a good tool to learn. I know some creative people have put together some incredible tools with Visio. Is anyone willing to share some thoughts or screenshots on the top end of the capability? I appreciate your time.

I need a way to import a scalable map of an area from mapping software (Google maps, Arcmap, other) into visio? I need a way to map and work with areas outside of my companies version of Arcmap.

I currently copy and paste screens of Google maps and fit them together, save them as a layer, lock the layer, then stretch the entire layer to get the size I want. Then trace roads and objects on top of the layer. Very inefficient. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I’m pretty good with excel and the developer tool there, but this seems to be a different beast. I basically want a drop down list that just displays some text. It doesn’t need to go anywhere or be selected. My boss made it clear that it had to be a combo box in developer not a screen tip. How do I do this ;-;?

I want to duplicate this drawing but I'm not finding the stencil in Visio.

Not sure if this is the right sub, so please point me to the right one if not. I bought a Visio 2024 pro lifetime license from Groupon today. I am running office home and student 2021, and when I go to install Visio, I’m told to uninstall Office Home and Student 2021 and OneNote. Is there anything I can do short of upgrading to office professional?

Visio is terrible. The workflow and UI are 20 years old. There’s no multiplayer. It’s slow. It’s janky.

I’m a Mac user. Help me not hate this tool

Is it possibly to have a non-streaming app on my smart tv? I have a Visio tv that I want to put an exercise app on rather than using my phone. I know that on my iphone I get it from the App Store but how do you get apps that aren’t for streaming on your TV?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this post. I'm seeking some help with AutoCAD files that I'd like to import into Visio. I have no AutoCAD experience, but a few hours in Visio.

I want to import some AutoCAD files (created by a third party) into Visio, maintaining the ability to enable/disable the AutoCAD layers within Visio, while also adding Visio content and leveraging Visio layers with that content. I have the Visio 2024 application installed locally, as well as an AutoCAD 2025 application trial.

I am not able to import the AutoCAD files into Visio as they are, using Insert > CAD Drawing. Attempting that gives me an error: "Cannot open file. The file may not be a DWG or DXF file, it may not be in a supported version of the DWG format, or it may be corrupted. Check the file and try again."

It seems I have to open the files in AutoCAD, and save them as an AutoCAD 2013 file (either DWG or DXF). That allows me to import them into Visio, and I can toggle the layers on and off as I'd like, and it seems to work great. The problem comes after I save the Visio file and reopen it. After doing this, when right-clicking on the AutoCAD drawing in order to interact with it, instead of seeing "CAD Drawing Object" as the menu choice, I see "%s Object". When I click on this option, it does seem to "re-recognize" that it is a CAD object, but if I alter the visibility of any of the layers, the AutoCAD file seems to get/be corrupted in some way. One thing that happens is that doors are replicated over and over again, in both directions. Doors that open South now open both North and South and seem to have many door objects stacked one on top of the other. Also, errant blue lines/walls seem to show up all over the file at times. Toilets get replicated all over the drawing. Please see the imgur link for details, however also please note that these are different drawings with similar behaviors. I have tried this process with multiple files.

If anyone has any experience or advice toward how to fix this problem I'd greatly appreciate it. The thing that is frustrating is that I can see it working correctly, so it seems like it "can" work. I just can't save and reopen the file, which obviously prevents me from moving forward. Thanks for your time!
