This post is intended as a quick reference for manually editing Dynamic Connectors that I needed for a customer.
In general, Visio does a good job of handling routing using the Dynamic Connector, but occasionally, and depending on the routing style you have applied, some manual adjustment can be required.
Note that the following is based on connectors in the
Right-Angle
orStraight
state and not theCurved
state, that uses a different approach to manipulation.
Some terms
A quick glossary of the terms involved:
The connector represents a single path
that is made up of a number of segments
(the above example containing two). Each segment
has a vertex
at each end, plus a single midpoint
.
Nothing's new
Just as I finished putting the above together I realised that Chris Roth (aka Visio Guy) had got here before me and so do check out his write up on the same subject:
