On deleting an element in a diagram, the other elements that were connected to the deleted element automatically reposition and realign themselves. |

In general, no. There may be some specialized add-on applications that can do this using code. Some diagram types can automatically connect shapes when shapes are dropped on the page but when a shape is deleted the intention may be to do various other things than to do any repositioning or reconnecting. Every user woukd want it to do something different at different times. -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd. Electrical for Visio http://www.electrical.sandrila.co.uk/ |

I want to make all connections myself. |

I agree, In Visio 2007 there is an autoconnect feature for flowcharts etc whereby if you hover the new shape just below the prvious shape it will change the drop symbol to a connector, then when the shape is dropped it will be automatically connected but the shape gets moved to a different location, that's the worst bit. It can be turned off though - which is its best feature. -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd. Electronics for Visio http://www.electronics.sandrila.co.uk/ |
