![]() It looks like you are using “2D glue” which is often unreliable in the sense that it often won’t behave as you expect. In the Ribbon, select View and uncheck the Connection Points check box to always hide them. Visio also gives you the option to turn off the display of connection points entirely. So don’t be concerned if the points are not visible when you first review a drawing. In the example above, the connection points on the figure of the teacher will appear as you move the line towards the shape. However, you will only see the connection points when you are in the process of connecting to them. In Visio 2010 and later, connection point viewing also defaults to “on”. As the objects are moved, the line will remain glued to the connection points outside of the shape’s geometry. Here, we’ve placed the points outside of the shapes so that when we glue connectors or lines to them, there is white space remaining outside of the object. You can place connection points outside of the selected shape geometry which is often a very useful technique. In that case, when Shape A is moved, the connection point moves along with it and would no longer be on Shape B. Often, a user will select Shape A and then continue adding connection points where they want them, without remembering to select a different shape. In order to place it in Shape B, you must select Shape B. Guess what… the connection point was actually inserted into Shape A. In the adjacent illustration, Shape A is highlighted and it looks like we have just placed a connection point on Shape B. Remember that adding a connection point as described above places it into the selected shape, even if the point is not on or within the boundaries of the shape! It’s a common user mistake to add connection points to the wrong shape without realizing it. ![]() Now, hold the Ctrl key, position your cursor where you want to add the connection point, and left click your mouse.Īre your Connection Points where you think they are? To do this, select the shape and notice how its highlighting has changed to indicate that it’s ready to receive a connection point. When this tool is selected, you can add a new connection point at any location on any shape. Click on the pull-down arrow next to this icon and you can choose the Connection Point Tool. On the Visio toolbar, the Connector Tool enables you to add and connectors between shapes and “glue” them into place. ![]()
