Check out the reference diagram.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/its...e/LPMSA_4.mspx

I would like to know what technique Microsoft use to produce this diagram. I have tried everything i can and i cannot make the the connectors route on 45 degree angle like they are in this drawing. I have tried page rotation, i can replicate this by drawing lines, but not using connectors. is there someway to rotate the grid to do this. we love the way the diagrams look and would like to replicate this in our work drawings.

Cheers

Michael

It could have been with the Bus connector off the Connectors stencil,
rotated by 45 degrees.

I have this diagram on the wall in my office. Many of the connecting lines
in the diagram are special connectors like the bus connector. The standard
Dynamic Connector will not route along non-orthogonal angles automatically.
We're very interested in making a diagram as complex as this easier to
construct, so please send along your experiences here.

Mark,
How about posting it on the Office/visio site so that others can have the
fun of playing with it.

Visio is a "new" product to MS, and you will find that that drawing was not
created with Visio.

Strange answer. Yes, this is definitely a Visio drawing.

Dont want to kill the debate about "what it was drawn with, but if you
download the Architecture Guide, the diagram is embedded into a word
document as a jpg or sorts so if you guys could "PLEASE" get hold of the
stencil ;-) i think we would all be happy!
