Visio 2010 Dynamic connectors are connecting to shapes

Hi,
I am new to Visio and I am trying to create group using some shapes. The shapes in the group have connection points but the group itself doesn't have any. I want the dynamic connector to connect to the connection points only when I connect the group to some
other shapes.
When I am using the auto connect option, the dynamic connector is connecting to the shape but not to the connection point. I changed the ShapeFixedCode in the shape sheet to visSLOConnPtsOnly. But it still is connecting to the shapes and not to the connection
points.
Any advice or correction the way I am doing.

when you create a group you are creating a new shape with very few native attributes (no connection points and no custom properties). If you want to connect to the group shape  you should use the connection tool to add connection points.

  • How can I use the Outlook 2010 social connector to connect to a Sharepoint 2013 mysite?

    Hello Forumfriends!
    We have recently (like, last Weekend) migrated our Sharepoint 2010 Farm to SharePoint 2013 and we have started using mysites.
    Now, there is a nice featur in Outlook 2010, the social connector. This connector connects nicely to SharePoint 2010 mysite (it does, I have tested myself).
    Unfortunately, I seem to be unable to connect to my new SharePoint 2013 mysite with my Outlook 2010 Client.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    In SharePoint 2010 I configured the social connector using the URL
    http://mysitehost/my. When I do the same with my SharePoint 2013 mysite it says "Could not connect to Server"
    We are not using Office 365 and no, we will not rollout Outlook 2013.
    Regards,
    Jack

    Hi Jack,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could use Outlook 2010 social connector to connect a SharePoint 2013 MySite.
    The OSC makes Outlook 2010 a social networking tool by connecting to the new social experiences in SharePoint 2010. That connection allows the OSC to download activity feeds for colleagues and display them inside the new People Pane.
    When using Outlook 2013 Social Connector connecting to SharePoint 2013, Outlook calls /_layouts/15/ActivityFeed.aspx with parameter (destination user email) to sync updates. However, it is likely that Outlook 2010 cannot recognize SharePoint 2013 newsfeed.
    So, for solving your issue, I suggest you use Outlook 2013 Social Connector to connect a SharePoint 2013 MySite.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Wendy

  • Exchange 2010 Send Connector to postfix (v. 2.11) smarthost uses STARTTLS and cannot connect

    Dear all,
    I am having problems with exchange 2010 sending emails through a postfix smarthost server which disconnects the sessions. I also use a sendmail as a smarthost
    server which is working just fine but I have to switch to postfix and cannot do this as long as the encryption does not work.

    postfix --> exchange with TLS = works
    any further hints?

  • Merging shapes in Visio 2010

    Is it possible in Visio 2010 to merge shapes? i.e. union, combine, etc. as detailed at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/visio/HP010254151033.aspx
    With the ribbon interface, there's obviously no Shape menu, and I have not been able to locate anything similar. Searching this forum, the internet and the built-in help does not yield any results. Is it possible this feature has been removed from the 2010 version?
    Thanks.
    Colin

    Sadly this is just symptomatic of the hole down which MS applications are dropping. The new menu layouts are generally an unmitigated disaster. No, they’re not better organised, they are simply different so that people can no
    longer find things. I have yet to find *anyone* who likes the new menus. IMHO Office peaked at the 2003 version and despite nice additions since, the complete mess of the UI means an overall detraction from the products.
    This is nicely demonstrated by ‘Shape Design’ being in the Developer tab and by default hidden. Quite what bit of mind-bending logic thought that was an appropriate home for commonly used drawing tools?
    And as has been pointed out, the help system is now a mess. In this case ‘combine’ and ‘union’ yield nothing, but it’s the same in the rest of Office. No longer a well organised help system, with say in Excel functions neatly
    cross-referenced so you can find the right function by following a trail. In its place a scrape of web content, some of which is good, some not so, but with any form of real help system now submerged.
    I saw a great post on another MS forum where someone did some simple maths of the number of Office users in his corporation, their cost to the company, and each being stalled for 10 minutes trying to find where things have been
    moved to. I think it worked out at a $25M cost to the corporation, and a 10 min stall would be very very conservative as Office is now a complete re-learning exercise.
    So sorry guys, Office starting with 2007 is just a complete disaster and people should be fired. You wonder why people don’t want to upgrade their software and move from XP and Office 2003? 
    This is one of the primary reasons. They have products that do all they need *and which they can use*. If people cannot use new versions due to ‘improvements’, then they are worthless. In fact worse than worthless, they are actually
    costly in the lost time and productivity.

  • What all connectors are available for OIM to connecting to a LDAP?

    Hi,
    Please let me know what all connectors are available for OIM to connecting to a LDAP?

    To answer your question a little more clearly:
    The first reply does have a list of connectors.
    If you are running OIM 9.x you will be better off using an older version of the Active Directory connector. You might have to search the web or request it through an SR. I have multiple versions of this particular connector to service different clients.
    If you are running OIM 11gR1 or 11gR2 or 11gR2PS1 then you will want to use the Microsoft Active Directory User Management connector which is the activedirectory-11.1.1.5.0.zip download. Be sure to apply patch p14190610 if you have OIM 11gR2 or PS1.
    If this answers your question completely please mark the thread accordingly.

  • Outlook clients are connecting to different site public folder rather than same site public folder on exchange 2010

    Team,
    users are unable to expand public folder from outlook, but they are able to navigate through outlook web access.
    noticed the outlook connections are connected to other child domain PF server rather than local site public folder server.
    due to this issue, users are unable to navigate to pf's , by restarting RPC Client access service , now users are able to connect to local public folder servers.
    all the databases are pointed to local pf database. all the settings looks good.
    any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Regards

    Hi Srinivasa,
    How about OWA?
    If it works in OWA, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
    I suggest run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
    I also suggest make sure the Outlook client has the latest patch.
    Also try to re-install Outlook.
    Thanks

  • Changes from Visio 2010 to 2013 - highlighting entire line drawing document with text fields and changing line colors

    I work with very large visio drawings that are basically line drawings (network drawings) with text boxes indicating equipment location. We work in future and current drawings, future has colored lines indicating connection type and objects have text in
    them that indicate if they are new by having red text. Current drawings have all black lines and black text.
    Here's my dilemma, previously I would Ctrl+A and then change all text and all lines to black in Visio 2010, everything would change no problem. In Visio 2013 every text box now get's a black border around it, I've tried selecting all text boxes at once
    and trying to remove the line but no luck.
    These drawings are HUGE and it takes me a good hour just to change between future and current where previously it took me seconds. I have many coworkers and we're all experiencing he same issue with the move to 2013.
    Is there a macro or some vb script I can utilize to select all text boxes and remove the black outline?
    Hope you can help!

    try this macro
    Sub Simple()
    Dim sh As Shape, counter As Integer
    ActiveWindow.SelectAll
    For counter = 1 To ActiveWindow.Selection.Count
    Set sh = ActiveWindow.Selection(counter)
    If Len(sh.Text) > 0 Then sh.Cells("Geometry1.Noline").FormulaU = "IF(LEN(SHAPETEXT(TheText))>0,1,0)"
    Next
    MsgBox "All text borders set invisible"
    End Sub

    Recently a setting has changed in Visio 2010 that is keeping my walls from joining smoothly.  For examply, in the past when I connected interior or exterior walls at a 90 degree angle, the walls would form seamlessly.  Now, when I join the walls
    at any angle, the walls are not actually "joined" together  Any help would be appreciated.

    The "Walls don't join properley" is a bug (yes, I do strongly believe it is a bug) that I have been suffering from for a couple of years. It is a severe problem that is also related to the "UNDO not working" issue. If you encounted this "Walls won't
    join" problem, check that the undo function works. I bet it doesn't. The problem is that the walls do snap to gether, and then do glue to each other, but the Wall shape macro that "paints" the wall connection, and correctly miter's the joint doesn't
    work. And there's nothing you can do to fix it for that file. It's some how related to the cut and paste function. Like when you cut and paste an "Infected wall" into a drawing, this somehow prevents the Undo feature AND the wall joint maro function.
    I've had the same issue on many different computers. I'm surprised it hasn't been encounterd much more out there. It's a real pain, because it means that when you start ensountering the problem, you have to start again with a new, fresh file if you want
    wall joining and UNDO function to work. I've looked in all the ADDIN menus, the Visual aids, Can't fix it. It's a nasty bug. I wish it was fixed.

  • Visio Database Wizard fails - ODBC connection to MS SQL

    When I try to create an ODBC connection in Visio's 2010's Database wizard I get the error: "Cannot set the database context information. Additional error information:ODBC Error: s1009. Database cxweba does not exist."
    Note that the database name is cxwebapp_bkk. I get the same error if I connect to any database on that server, and it always truncates the name in the error message (if that is a hint to the error). 
    Using Visio 2013, after connecting to the database: when I select the database object I get the error message:  "The selected table has only one field or contains no definition information. The Database Wizard requires a minimum of one key field
    and one additional data field."
    I have this problem using both SQL Server driver (6.02.9200.116384 and SQL Server Native Client 11.0 (2011.1102.2100.60).
    I do not have this problem connecting to a MYSQL database with either version of Visio, nor do I have this problem when I link link to the same SQL database in a drawing and link shapes in that drawing using the "Link Data to Shapes" under the
    Data tab.

    Hello,
    What's the version of the SQL Server instance you connect to? It seems that the Database Wizard in Visio 2010 not work well with the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC driver. Did you try to use the Generic OLEDB Provider for SQL Server?
    Since the issue is more related to office Visio, please post the question in the following forum. More experts there will assist you:

  • Linking data from Excel 2007to Visio 2010

    Hi Visio Experts,
    I have a Visio diagram a warehouse. The diagram shows the area of the warehouse where there are shelves and within each shelf is stored a certain product and the number of items. I am trying to link the data from an Excel spreadsheet which
    has three columns, which are the shelf number, the product, and the quantity. I have used the tutorials to link, but it does not refresh the data when the source information changes, which is very frustrating. Also, since the data is relatively large (100
    rows) is there a way of linking to the right drawing box without manually dragging to each box?
    Please make yours suggestions into really clear steps to help me with this problem.
    Thank you,
    Visio Rookie

    Hi,
    You can have some changes appear either manually or automatically in the Visio drawing when making changes to the data source.
    First you have linked data to a Visio drawing, there is a live connection between the two files. After making changes to Excel spreadsheet, switch to Visio 2010, then click Data > Refresh All. As an alternative, you can also right-click in the External
    Data window and click Refresh Data.
    I follow these steps mentioned in this article, and it works fine.

  • Adobe PDFMaker doesn't convert layers from Visio 2010

    I'm wondering if anybody else is seeing this behavior after converting to Visio 2010...
    I have a Visio cross-functional flowchart (CFF,) using "swimlanes."  My shapes in this flowchart are organized into various layers withinin Visio.  When I convert to .pdf, the pdf document displays the layers (along with the "eyeball" for selecting & deselecting layers,) but the layers do not "hide" when you deselect them.
    This problem occurs when using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 8,9, or X.  The problem occurs no matter which .pdf converter I use, and it makes no difference whether I initiate the conversion from within visio or externally.  The problem occurs in documents built from scratch in 2010, and in documents converted from version 2007. 
    Interestingly, the problem only occurs when the Visio document is a CFF with swimlanes.  Without swimlanes, all layers can be properly hidden & unhidden in the .pdf.
    Can anybody out there successfully display&hide layers in their .pdf generated from a Visio 2010 CFF?  Thanks for any thoughts!  : - )

    I had the same problem today using Visio 2010 & Acrobat Pro X, but having used Vision layers before, I did the following:
    copied the shapes from the CFF without the frame onto a new blank vsd
    the layer properties transferred normally with them
    & discovered that:
    the layers could be exported to pdf using the Acrobat Create option (check the preferences first)
    all of the layer settings worked fine.
    I then transferred the CFF "frame" (with swimlanes) onto the new vsd
    the layers seemed to export ok
    NONE of the layer settings worked in the pdf.....
    The only workaround would be to manually create the frame with rectangles on the copied shapes....
    I added these to their own "swimlane" layer & the whole export & result worked fine.

  • MS Visio 2010 | Self-Updating MasterShapes

    Hello TechNet Com,
    is there any option in Visio 2010 to "integrate" the MasterShapes, that if i make some changes in my MasterShapes all drawings where i used these MasterShapes get updated with the new shapes? Or do i have to "re-draw" every single drawing
    with the updated Shapes?
    I hope you understand what i want to ask, sorry for my english :)
    Looking forward to some answers.
    kind regards

    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update the shapes which based on the master shapes  after you made some changes about the master shapes. Once a shape has been dropped on a page the master for that
    shape is placed in the Document Stencil, if changes are made to *that* master then the changes can propagate to the instances on your pages. It does depend on what changes are made to the master though.
    We can only make changes to master shapes that are in a new stencil ( Not in the build-in stencil). It won't propagate to the existing shapes on a drawing.
    Some 3<sup>rd</sup> –party addins may require your needs.

    We may also use a macro via VBA code. If you need detail help， please post it in MSND forum.

  • Visio 2010 Link a Stencil to Telnet

    Good morning everyone,
    I have been searching Google for two days now on how to link a Visio 2010 Stencil to Telnet so that when you hold control and click the stencil it brings you to the telnet login prompt for that router or switch.
    I went to insert hyperlink, then chose local file, and linked to telnet.exe for starters. When I ctrl+click on a stencil I get a security warning asking if I want to continue; I clicked yes, but nothing happened. For kicks, I even tried clicking No and
    still nothing happens.
    I then tried creating a shortcut to telnet and pointing the hyperlink to that local file with no luck.
    Lastly I wrote a .bat file and tried to get the .bat file to launch telnet to my router/switch, and that works if I directly open the .bat file but does not link from Visio.
    Does anyone know how I can simply make Visio 2010 so that I can click on the stencil and it auto opens telnet prompt allowing me to login to that device?
    Thank you

    The technique the example uses requires modifications to the shape (thus making them unique on the page) and the code then calls an executable that accepts command line options and enters the appropriated operands to the call (ip address, port, etc.).
    This is the 'easy' way to accomplish calling the telnet session. Be aware that as of Win7 calling command line executables via a browser was modified to make it more difficult.
