Visio 2010 Walls not joining

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 2010 Stencil not displaying properly in 2013

Greetz!
I'm not sure where the Visio 2013 forum is so hopefully you all can help me out in here!
I am using Visio 2013 Professional and would like to use some stencils downloaded form office.com, I unzipped 'Stencil_ModernUI_Microsoft.vss and copied them into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\Visio Content\1033
I can add them to my Stencil palette and once added they show up correctly there. However, when I drag them to my diagram surface the details are lost and they appear as solid shapes. FOr instance the Third Party Integration shape appears like this:
I'm a noob at Visio so hopefully this is a simple setting. Any ideas? I did change the transparency and that helped a bit but they're not as crisp as they're intended to be.
Here is what the shape looks like on the palette:
Thanks!
Love them all...regardless. - Buddha

Hi,
Do you mind telling us which link are you using to download the
stencils? I download the Visio Stencil 2013 : SharePoint - Lync - Exchange - Windows here, it worked well for me. Please see the below image:
For your first image, I found/tested, the issue occur when we applied a theme.
Please go to Design tab>Clean the theme, it would be display well.
Hope it's helpful.

VISIO 2010 Default File Associations

PROBLEM:
Visio 2010 is not set as the default program for opening the .vsd file type. I tried to set the default file associations to Visio 2010, but it doesn't show up in the list of default programs.
BACKGROUND:
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. I had Visio Professional 2003 installed, and more recently, Visio viewer for more viewing newer file types. I uninstalled both programs and then installed Visio Professional 2010.
ATTEMPTED (BUT FAILED) REPAIRS:
I have repaired the installation twice, but Visio still does not show up in the default programs list and is still not set as the default association for .vsd files. At this point, the only way to open files is to first open Visio and then open the
file from within visio. It's irritating! Please help.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\VISIO.EXE\shell\open\command
verify the Default file path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\VISIO.EXE" "%1"
And follow Paul Herber to set .vsd default program

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.

Visio 2010 Stardard install error on Windows 8.1 with Office Pro 2013 already installed

Both Visio and Office are 64bit. Visio gives "The language of this installation package is not supported by your system". Tried the LIS "CacheOnly" suggested on a few sites. Causes Installer boot segment fault. Any ideas? Suppose we have
to uninstall Office, install Visio, re-install office? Afraid that will jack up my activations count. Assuming the issue is newer Office is causing the problem.

Hi,
For the error message, the issue may be caused by some reasons.
The Visio 2010 installation source was damaged.
The installation source for the language pack did not contain all the necessary files.
Please try the following methods:
1.Change an installation source.(Click
here to re-download)
2.Extract all sv-se files necessary for the language pack installation and installed the language pack successfully.
3.Unzip the installation source and double-click the setup.exe to install.
If we had tried the all above methods, we need to try that uninstall Office, install Visio, re-install office. It’s important to always install earlier versions of Office first.

Visio 2010 EMF in word 2007 fonts distorted in PDF

Hello Participants,
I am experiencing an issue with some Visio images not rendering correctly in my PDF. I created the images in Visio 2010 and saved as EMF. Then I inserted them into my Word 2007 document and generated a PDF.
One of my images renders great, the other one has some font distortion going on. Can anyone point me to some settings that could resolve this issue?
Thanks so much for your help on this matter.
Z.

My two bits for what they are worth. I used AA9 for the conversion. When I printed to the Adobe PDF printer, the text came out crisp. When I used PDF Maker, I got the same poor fonts view I think you refer too. However, I think it in part goes back to the graphic you used. When I look at the page in WORD 2007, the fonts do not look that good either.
I did observe that it may be the scaling you have done in WORD -- a typical problem with the view of bitmaps. The size of the 1st one is 51% and the 2nd one is 59%. If you can scale the figures in VISIO so that they will be 100% in WORD that may help. What is strange is that printing to the Adobe PDF printer gave a nice result. So it appears to be related to a PDFMaker issue.
An additional factor is that Adobe PDF printer seemed to retain the information as a vector graphic (you can select the individual parts) and yet PDF Maker seemed to convert the graphic to a bitmap. How much of that is Acrobat and how much is MS screwing thing up I do not know (I only say this from past experience with graphics in WORD 2007 that was not a problem with WORD 2003).
As a last resort, I exported the graphics to an EMF and imported into Adobe Illustrator. I think clipped each one into a new WORD file as EMF files (Paste Special) and then ran PDF Maker. This time they came out fine. I think a good part of the problem is how the VISIO files are importing to WORD. That has long been a problem. I my opinion, MS bought VISIO and messed up a great product, causing problems like this.
Maybe some of my comments will help the Adobe team to trace the issue. I know that VISIO files embedded in WORD have long been problems. I do not have a best work flow when using VISIO, but clipping from VISIO does not seem to work well. I hope that some of may wandering analysis here is helpful. I have just been commenting as I have tried things.

Problems creating a PDF from a large Visio (2010) document

Hello
Heres the setup, Windows 7, 64bit, Visio 2010 std, Adobe Acrobat X Standard, a 6.7mb .vsd file with a custom size of 6000 x 3000 mm that I want to convert to a pdf (not for printing)
Using File menu & save as in Visio converts to a pdf with great quality but cuts the page off, I've spent all day reading about the 200" issue and thats exactly where the cut off is.
Using right click on the .vsd file in explorer and convert to pdf opens the correct page size in the pdf but the drawing is screwed up, lines moved about, missing stuff etc.
I dont know
a) Why there is a difference between the 2 ways of creating the pdf
b) how to have my cake and eat it! Good quality and right size page
Unfortunately I cannot use any third party apps, am I screwed?
Thank you everyone for looking and maybe even offering advice
Cheers
Stu

I looked at every setting as I had the same problem. This is what I found resolved the issue:
1. Open Adobe Acrobat Reader and go to Edit/Preferences and change the pixel/inch ratio back to the standard.
2. In Visio, go to Design tab, Size, and then More Page Sizes, and change the page size to Custom (your needed size.) (This opens Page Setup.)
3. The printer paper size I could not change, but it didn't affect it.
The first option is what took me an hour to figure out. Hope this helps save people time.

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.

Outlook 2010 will not open

I have Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. I've had issues with a problem in outlook where file was being generated in my PST folders everytime I opened outlook. I read where I should disable Norton Anti-Spam and it worked to allow me to delete the
folders and not get any new ones. I thought I should try uninstalling MS Office and reloading it. I used the Control Panel to remove the program but it only partially removed Office and stopped. I then used FixIt and removed more of Office and got most of
it but it stopped at the end too. I could not totally remove whatever remained of office but it looked like it was all gone. I also have Visio 2010 and Project 2010 and did not attempt removing those yet. When I tried to re-install office I got an error about
legacy groove SW that needed to be removed first. I couldn't find a way to do it. I then read I could do a custom install and install everything in office except SharePoint Workspace. I did that and it seemed to work. Everything worked except Outlook.
So then I added features to the suite by custom install of SharePoint Workspace only. All seemed to work. But Outlook still will not open. I get an error that states: Cannot open your default email folders. An unexpected error has occurred. MAPI was unable
to load the information service mspst.dll. Be sure the service is correctly installed and configured. I have Windows 7 Home Premium. What should I do?

Hi,
Go to C:\Windows\System32 and double click on Fixmapi.exe, it won't give you any message, just reboot computer and try again.
If this issue persists, create a new profile in Control Panel -> Mail to check the result:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
If this issue still persists, we need to uninstall Office completely, then re-install it.
Once you finished uninstalling Office, please also delete the following registry keys:

Unable to edit .vsdx visio file that is inside a document library using visio 2010 sp2

I have Visio 2010 SP2 installed locally inside my machine. The current version can open vsdx files by doing some conversions. I got the following scenario inside my SharePoint server 2013:-
Currently I have Visio file (with .vsdx extension) uploaded to my SharePoint 2013 document library.
If I click on the Visio file I got the following dialog.
I select “Edit”, click on ok.
Then the visio 2010 application will convert the current file and open it locally inside my machine.
But the opened file will have it name as “Copy (1) of ….”, as follow:-
So if I do some changes to the Visio file and I click on save I will not be able to save my changes back to the SharePoint server’s document library. Now if I do the same steps for a .vsd file not .vsdx then I can directly open the Visio file (without any
conversion process) and I will be able to save my changes back to SharePoint server.
So can anyone advice how to be able to edit .vsdx files which are uploaded to SharePoint document library using visio 2010 SP2 ?
Thanks

Thank you for your ideas.
After that last posting, but before your response, I asked them to add the local farm to their trusted sites zone. Several blogs I had encountered while searching had listed that as something they had tried.
As soon as they added the site to their trusted site zone, the problems went away.
It was definitely not all users - I only had 2 people directly contact me about the issue.
I never got a chance to ask them about other SharePoint sites - they were working on the sites where they spent most of their time - I don't know if they had other sites.
The old location and the new location of these 2 sites are in the same site collection - it was moving them from
http://myfarm/sites/div/dept67/site1
to
http://myfarm/sites/div/dept64/site1
basically (with the actual names changed to protect my job).
The site collection is /sites/div . So the site collection features are the same.
I suppose that the site features could have changed between the export and the import - but since things are working now and I didn't change any features, I don't think that it is.
At this point, things appear to be working. However strange that seems to me.

TS1398 I have just purchased an iPad mini and it will not join my wifi. It detects my wifi network but will not join. I have a Mac, 2 iPhones and an iPad 4 and all work perfectly. The new iPad mini just won't behave. Any ideas?

I have purchased an iPad mini and it will not join my wifi network. Any ideas?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Visio 2010 reverse engineering ora-12504 error

I am trying to create Database Model Diagram via MS Visio 2010 from my existing Oracle Database. But everytime i am having ORA-12504:TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA. If i use Oracle Data Modeler i dont have any error. What is the reason of this error for Visio? Here you can show the error:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/143/errorop.jpg/

Hi,
You need to complete your install by editing th tnsnames.ora file which can be found under %ORACLE_HOME%\netwrok\admin folder.
A simple tnsnames.ora entry would look like:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <machine_name or ip_address where the database & listener is running>)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
)Or simpler, go to the start menu, and start the Oracle Net Manager to configure your tnsnames.
HTH,
