Connection arrows
I am working on a multi page visual, showing project links between various
departments. I need to be able to draw arrows from one page to other pages to indicate a relationship. I have not been able to do it so far. Is this possible using Visio, and if so can someone tell me how to do it? |

The Off-page reference master on the Basic Flowchart Shapes stencil enables
you to create a clickable arrowed link between pages. "Tee" wrote in message ... I am working on a multi page visual, showing project links between various departments.

Easy to do in Visio....I've done up to 16 pages of an interface diagram
between 11 IT systems (one system per page) and several hundred interfaces each represented by a line...to convert legacy systems to SAP. A few pages were left blank. Use "cross over" routing lines to simplify. Create the drawing sheet to fit as many pages as you need. For example one page = 8.5 x 11, 4 pages (one sheet) = 16 x 22. Best to turn on visibility of page margins (shown in gray on screen) and background grid to help you align to pages. Then draw "across" page boundaries with lines or what ever you wish. Best to title or name or otherwise identify each item that crosses a "border"...like color or line style....so you can identify its purpose and source/destination on any one separate page. A legend helps for complex data. Then print to paper or to .pdf using the std page size (8.5 x 11 in this example) ...will print as many "pages" as you set up....and lines will show to the margin borders....and you can align each sheet....and trim margins off and re-create what you see on-screen as one sheet....or just keep as individual pages. You may need to "play" with margin sizes etc depending on the printer and its settings...Visio adjusts sizes to account for margins so you do not loose any margin data. Suggest you do a trial on 4 pages and a simple design, print, and check margins etc. until you see how it works; then do you project for real. What works well on one printer may not work exactly as well on a different printer. I've also done this to print a large architectural plan to fit on 4, 13x17 pages "taped together" -- as I was limited to a printer paper size but needed a scale to see details like one would expect to see on "D" or "E" or roll prints.
