Visio Basics -1
• Creating new diagram from a template
• Manipulating
i l i shapes
h on a page
• Aligning and Distributing Shapes
• Copy, Paste and Duplicate Shapes
• Grouping and ungrouping shapes
• Foreground and Background options
• Zooming in and Out of the Page
• Using the Drawing Toolbar to create basic shapes
Visio Basics - 2
• Connectors
• S i and
Static dddynamici glue
l
• Adding, deleting and moving connector points
• Using different stencils
– Stencil search
• Shape behaviour -1d, 2d, drill down
• Working with text
– Object text
– Freeform text
– Text block tool
Static glue
g
• Static glue is to a
particular connection
point
• The connection points
used don’t
don t move even if
the shapes are moved
Dynamic
y glue
g
• Drag connector onto shape
and wait until shape is
highlighted in red
• If you move the shapes
relative to each other the
connection moves
appropriately
Using Different Stencils (and searching)
