uhhhhhh





are you for serious?

4/22/2007 9:38:05 PM

just do it in mspaint, b

4/22/2007 9:40:58 PM

Unfortunately, no, there really aren't, not that I've found. I've just found that randomly sticking in stuff and seeing how it looks is about the best way to figure it out. PM me if you want more advice, mang

its just not very friendly. when you're drawing lines and need zig-zag lines, etc . . . its odd. also how do you open up a new set of stencils in the visio application?

PRESS F1 FOR MORE INFORMATION B

^^ I hate Visio.

there was this site that used to have a bunch of tutorials for programs like visio and itunes and notepad, but i can't remember where it was. good luck!

4/25/2007 1:18:20 PM

thanks, G. i started, but it looks terrible.

4/25/2007 6:14:24 PM

let me know if you guys have any good sites with visio tips

i just got scheduled to do 14 days of flow charts and i need some shortcuts

6/28/2007 11:07:59 AM

for flowcharts omnigraffle is way better than visio.


but for network diagrams, visio pretty much owns the world

6/28/2007 12:29:17 PM

well since we only have pc workstations i guess that omnigraffle is out

notepad?

6/28/2007 8:01:10 PM

^^ yeah, i'd trade away omnigraffle to have Visio on the Mac

6/28/2007 8:26:14 PM

is omnigraffe free for mac. i may try that. i have to do a huge network diagram that's almost 5 sites in the Everglades and I'd rather use anything but visio. visio is just a pain in the ass for complex diagrams.

6/28/2007 9:54:06 PM

and in amsterdam's world, a complex diagram would be a router and switch.

6/29/2007 6:41:28 AM

nah, G. it's complex. it's a RF line between sites, a PIX, 3750's . . . CallManager Subscribers, VLANs, etc. it's pretty hardcore. the Everglades national park is all Cisco. I did the deployment. i worked out there for 3 months.

so i can create hyperlinks that link to other pages in my visio files

how do i make that action happen on a double click of the shape

there is no way to choose what shape that it goes to when i select the option under behavior

it just gives me the page not page\shape.000

the code calls a fuck ton of sub routines and i have a page for each, so if you want to find out what the routine does, just double click

i dont want the user to have to right click and select the hyperlink from the drop down menu

7/2/2007 10:24:10 AM

anyone know an easy way to take pages out of visio and make them into their own file?

i have over 60 pages so i dont want to copy and paste because i have foreground and background pages

7/25/2007 2:07:24 PM

probably the worst solution:

Quote :

"Split a multiple-page drawing into separate drawings If you have to reduce the file size of a multiple-page drawing to transfer it electronically, or if you have to save the drawing to a floppy disk, consider saving each page of your Visio drawing as a separate drawing. Use the Save As command to split the multiple-page drawing into several files. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Open the Visio drawing. 2. On the File menu, click Save As, type a new file name, and then click OK. For example, type filename_pageX.vsd, where filename is the name of your document, and pageX is the page number. 3. Repeat step 2 for each page of your drawing. For example, save page 1 as filename_page1.vsd, and save page 2 as filename_page2.vsd. 4. For each new Visio drawing file, delete the other pages that do not correspond with the file name. Right-click the Page tab for the page that you want to delete, and then click Delete Page. For example, if your drawing has four pages, and you open the filename_page2.vsd file, delete pages 1, 3, and 4. 5. On the File menu, click Save, and then repeat these steps for each drawing. "

anyone have anything else?
