Add cosine wave in the waveform generator
The current waveform generator available in the shapes allows us to draw one period of a sine wave.
Sometimes, we want to create graphs with sine waves, but maybe a cosine, and maybe not one entire period. Currently, to do so, we have to use the current shape and hide the parts not wanted with white rectangles... This is a bit annoying and not very clean.It would be nice to be able to have as a shape :
- a cosine over one period
- a cosine/sine over half a period
- a cosine/sine over a quarter a period3 votes -

Network Diagram Connector
Please make a connector for network diagrams that has multiple text fields that are pinned at the beginning, middle, and end of the connector. This will be used when drawing network connections where the middle text box shows the cable/connection ID, and each end shows the port number.

SQL Server reverse-engineer option to include schema in object name
When reverse-engineering SQL Server databases it would be nice to have the option to include schema in object name. Visio considers the schema name to be the "owner", but schema is not often the owner anymore.

When Visio file is saved as PDF format, hide hidden lines in a combined group correctly.
Example can be downloaded https://mega.nz/#!d8hCEQDB!jodLabH9Mi9bOKoEVsF8XQrFSxlopDSIGshLmHLkztQ.
A line is combined with a circle to get the "Off-center Radial Fill Effect" as described in http://www.visguy.com/2007/08/30/off-center-radial-fill-effect/. The effect is great in Visio. Nevertheless, when the file is saved as PDF foramt, the hidden line becomes visible, as shown in the file "BugReport_pdf_from_vsdx.pdf". Please correct this behavior. Many thanks !

generate code from Visio class diagrams
Restore the code generation from UML diagrams and UML creation from code. I'm stunned to find this removed from the latest versions. UML and class diagrams in Visio were good and now are useless. I'm uninstalling Visio to save my company the 200 dollars because, without this feature, Visio is not worth 200 dollars in a development environment.

Would be realy usefull to able to scroll sideways like up and down with the mouse
To scroll up or down you rotate the IntelliMouse wheel forward or backward.
What would be nice in Visio and OneNote is to able to scroll any direction by dragging the page using Ctrl key and the mouse lift key.
To be able to move quick on a large diagram without involving horizontal/vertical scroll bar.
That would be great. Some of my drawing consist of 9 A3 pages. you could imagine trying to scroll to find and object./2 votes -
Provide an "upgrade licence option"
After using visio standard edition for a while I decided I would like to try the features from professional, however found the only way to access these features was to outright by professional, as the sole visio user in my company taking this path would mean I am sat on a license for a product I would never use and it's quite an expensive license to not utilise.
It would make more sense to allow me to pay the license cost difference between standard and professional and have my current license upgraded to professional (or have it replaced)
I cannot…

Domain city maps and Application centric diagram with Data vizualizer
HI,
I have moved to a new company where there is EA software but luckily them Visio licenses. I have just discovered now the Data vizualizer form Excel and I am wondering if it would be possible to have the same for Application centric diagram and Application city maps.
Somehow it would be a first step towards building an EA software based on some commonly spread applications.BR

Allow separate windows for the same source document
For multi-monitor setups allowing child windows to be separated from the single host app window would be extremely useful, as per Excel: https://blogs.office.com/en-us/2013/02/07/open-excel-workbooks-in-separate-windows-and-view-them-side-by-side/, or, ideally, using Visual Studio's tear off windows, out of the main app into some spare screen space.
Although you can stretch the app window across multiple monitors the break between two monitors never sits in the right place (ie the break between two child windows) and so you end up using a single monitor.
In Visio, it's common to have multiple ShapeSheet windows open at once, either displaying master and instance, or one for each…

Visio 365 Layers allowing display based on more than one layer active.
Visio 365 Layers allowing display based on more than one layer.
I have a drawing with multiple sections grouped by layers. I want to display a few connectors or shapes only if multiple layers are selected. I can assign it to one or the other or both, but if I do not have both layers visible I do not want to see the connector or shape. Is there a context I can add to the Layer Membership ShapeSheet values?
Currently I have ="13;21" as I have the connector/shape assigned to layers 13 and 21. If either are active it is…

Need to hide the 'Give Feedback' option
Right now there is no provision to hide and un-hide controls on the Status Bar. The only option available is Hide the complete toolbar. Can we have a API where we can select which tools we want.
