A beginner's guide to
Visio
There are many kinds of Visio diagrams, including organization charts, network diagrams, workflows, and
home or office plans. But you use the same three basic steps to create nearly all of them:
1.
2.
3.
Start Visio.
2.
3.
Drag the Start/End shape from the Basic Flowchart Shapes stencil onto
the drawing page, and then release the mouse button.
2.
Hold the pointer over the shape so that the blue AutoConnect arrows
show.
3.
Move your pointer on top of the blue arrow that points toward where you
want to place the second shape.
A mini toolbar appears that contains shapes from the top of the stencil.
4.
Use the AutoConnect arrows also to connect two shapes already in your
drawing. Drag an AutoConnect arrow from one shape and drop it on another
shape. You get an arrow from the first shape to the second.
Click the shape and start typing. You dont need to double-click to add
text to a shape; when you type, text is added to whichever shape is selected.
2.
Rotation handles
The round handle
located above a selected shape is called a rotation handle.
Drag it right or left to rotate the shape.
TIP A great way to find out what a shape can do is to right-click it to see if
there are any special commands on its shortcut menu.
If youre building an organization chart, shapes can automatically build the
reporting structure. Drag each persons shape to the chart and drop it on top of
their managers shape. The shapes automatically connect to show the hierarchy.
Stencils
Open any Visio stencil
Each template opens with the stencils that you need to create a particular kind of
drawing, but you can open other stencils any time you want.
In the Shapes window, click More Shapes, point to the category that you
want, and then click the name of the stencil that you want to use.
Templates
When you want to create a diagram, start with a template for that type of
diagram (or the nearest type if there isnt an exact match you can always
change the settings to be what you want). Visio templates help you start with the
right settings:
Stencils full of the shapes that are needed to create a particular kind of
drawing
The Home Plan template, for example, opens with stencils full of shapes such as
walls, furniture, appliances, cabinets, and so on.
The Organization Chart template includes distinct shapes for executives,
managers, assistants, positions, consultants, vacancies, and more.
Special tabs
Some templates have unique features that you can find on special tabs in the
ribbon. For example, when you open the Office Layout template, a Plan tab
appears. You can use the Plan tab to configure display options that are specific to
office layout diagrams.

Navigating in Visio
Let's take a few moments to get familiar with the Visio interface:
A
B
C
A : the toolbars across the top of the screen are similar to other
Microsoft programs such as Word and PowerPoint. If you have used
these programs before, you may notice a few different functionalities,
which we will explore later.
Selecting Help >> Diagram Gallery is a good way to become familiar
with the types of drawings and diagrams that can be created in Visio.
B : the left side of the screen shows the menus specific to the type of
diagram you are creating. In this case we see:
Arrow Shapes
Backgrounds
Conclusion
If you are not using Enterprise Architect to design your
systems, you are giving up opportunities for increased
productivity, that result from re-using your data across the
whole project, sharing that data across the entire project team
and using the model to drive the solution.
Enterprise Architect delivers the capacity for data sharing and
re-use, achieving synergies and efficiencies that can only be
realised using an integrated development environment.
Now, you can easily import your existing information into
Enterprise Architect, without losing any of the work you have
already done.
