Below are some extracts from our Visio Introduction manual.
In this unit, you will gain skills that allow you to control
shapes and connection tools which will help make creating diagrams easy.
There are many ways to select more than one shape at a time.
The Multiple Select tool allows you to click on individual
shapes and it will hold the selection.
The other method to achieve this is to hold the shift key
down while selecting each shape.
The Lasso and Area Select allow multiple shapes to be
selected by one click and drag over the desired shapes.
There are a number of ways to Connect shapes.
§
When you move over a shape on the page a pop up
menu allows you to choose a new shape, it will auto connect.
§
Use the connector tool from the Home ribbon and
select the Connector tool from the Tools Section.
If the shapes need to be lined up either vertically or
horizontally use the Align button in the Arrange Section or Select the Position
Button to display the Align Options.
Distribution of shapes controls the spacing between the
shapes to ensure the distance between the shapes is the same.
Use Grouping to keep shapes together so they move in
relation to each other once in the desired position. You can have multiple
groups.
Shapes in groups can still be singled out so you can work
with a grouped shape independently.
§
Home Ribbon –Arrange Section -Group
Use Snap & Glue to aid in the positioning of shapes.
The Rotate Handle positioned at the top of the shape allows
the shape to be turned anywhere from 0 to 360°
You can also use the Rotate or Flip option from the Shape
Menu.
§
Home Ribbon –Position –Rotate Shapes from menu
Use both Horizontal and Vertical Guides to assist with the
placing of shapes and lines.
Formatting Shapes allows you to format text, shapes, and connectors and apply Themes. This will allow creation of a consistent look throughout your drawings.
Using the Shape Tools
The Shape Styles group allows you to alter the selected
Shape’s Corner Rounding, Transparency, Fill Pattern and Shadow Colour.
The Fill section in the Format Shape Side Pane allows you
to change the colour and transparency of the selected Shape and its shadow.
The Shadow section in the Format Shape Side Pane is where
you set and change the shadows colouring, transparency and size and position.
The Line section in the Format Shape Side Pane allows you to
change the Line Style which includes Pattern, Weight, Colour, Beginning,
Sharpness of the corners etc.
The
Corner Rounding in the lower half of the side pane controls the sharpness of
both Line and Shape corners.
To add text to a Shape either:
§
Double-click on the Shape and type.
or
§
Select the shape and type.
The window will zoom in to focus only on that shape.
Once you have completed typing then click away from the
shape.
The
window will zoom back out.
The Text Formats are from the Home Ribbon in the Font and
paragraph Section. This allows quick access to some of the features found in
the Format Text Dialogue Box.
Use the
Format Text Dialogue box to format not only Fonts but also Characters,
Paragraphs, Text Blocks, Tabs and Bullets.
Duplicate is a quick way to create an exact copy of a shape
and all its information.
§
Select the Shape
§
Ctrl + D
Use the Format Painter to copy formats from one shape to
another.
§
A single click will allow one use.
§
A double click will allow multiple uses.
Either select the corner handle to resize (and keep in proportion) the shape or for more accurate resizing use the Size & Position Window.
