Visio Connectors

Hi,

How do I add a line jumps to an existing flow chart, I have already tried using page set-up and also selecting individual connector lines and using behaviour but it does not apply to the existing flowchart, although does work on a new one. I do not want to have to re-create the whole chart as I really can't believe that you can't just update it to amend it. The version I use is Visio Standard 2003.

Please help me
Thanks
Louise

RE: Visio Connectors

Hi Louise

Just to clarify, when you say line jump, do you want to link the connector to another flowchart? Do you want this to happen when you click onthe connector?

Regards

Richard

RE: Visio Connectors

Hi

I have basically created a flowchart but I did not set up the line jumps before I started so when a connector line crosses over another one it does not have the little arc over it. When I tried to do it afterwards it would not make the change so not sure if I have to start it again.

The line jump is when the line arc over another one when it crosses it

ope this is clearer

RE: Visio Connectors

ok,

Take a look under FILE > Page Setup > Layout and Routing Tab
There should be a setting there for Line Jumps, where you can specify the settings for the page.

Alternatively for individual lines, select the line, click FORMAT > BEHAVIOUR and then you will see a section for line jumps.

Regards

Richard
