The result is a connector that places text at the very end, rotated to match the angle of the last part of the connector. Today, however, I fired up my Visio 2010 beta and put some new features to work. I always needed to resort to code to get it to happen. Getting connector text to do this automatically is something I’ve wanted to implement for a long, long time. You can see here how I am hastening the onset of arthritis with too much mousing: Every time I adjusted the drawing, the angle of the connector changed, and I had to re-orient the text using the Text Block Tool. In that flowchart, I needed to place connector-text along the actual line of the connector. In a previous post, I was re-creating (for fun!) a flowchart that I had seen in the Süddeutsche Zeitung. Today we’ll show-off the cool new connector that I’ve developed for you, and get a very light technical explanation as to how it works! Now, Visio 2010’s new ShapeSheet functions and capabilities finally deliver. ![]() ![]() A feature lacking in Visio, like for-EVER, is the ability to align text along a connector’s path.
