Join David Edson for an in-depth discussion in this video Formatting shape lines, part of Visio 2010 Essential Training.
I've opened up the Formatting Visio Shapes Diagram found in your Chapter 4 directory.…The diagram itself has a 2-D shape and a 1-D shape and then a particular dynamic…connector and them some text areas underneath it and I want to zoom in and focus…in right now on the top area here so that I'm looking at the dynamic connector,…1-D and the 2-D shape.…Now a dynamic connector itself is nothing more than a very specialized, very…intelligent form of a line so what we're going to be talking about here is…formatting lines and I am going to show you how we can apply that formatting to…any number of different types of shapes, whether it would be a 2-D shape or a 1-D…shape or a dynamic connector.…
If I select the shape, again the easiest and fastest is to right-click and…select Format and Line, bringing up the Format Line dialog.…Again, just so you're aware, you can also achieve that same thing by selecting…the shape and coming up on your Home tab, under the Shape area and under Line,…selecting Line Options.…
