If you have Visio Pro 2007+, then have a look at the construction of the
Cabinet and Rack masters on the Rack Mounted Equipment stencil.
The ShapeSheet formulae of the connection points control their position when
the shape is resized.

Hi all,

Is there a way to resize shapes dynamically. What I want to do is have a
rectangle, for example, with connector points on the side and as I resize
the
rectangle more connections appear, or at least the old ones stay where
they
are.

Connection points tend to be located relative to the shape they belong to,
in particular
they tend to be located relative to the left hand and top sides of the
shape, so, as the
shape is resized using the left hand resize handle then the connection
points will move
with that handle. For the connection points to stay still when the left
hand handle is
moved would require the connection points to be relative to the right hand
edge (which
would then cause the connection points to move when the right-hand handle
is used to
resize) or the connection points are located relative to the page, but
that won't work as
then the connection points would not move when the shape was moved.
