Ability to move a shapes' comment bubble in 2016. The default location is sometimes in the way of a line arrow or text and therefore the arrow can't be seen.

It is difficult these days to create any Visio diagrams. Azure stencils keep changing icons does not match and now after searching and finding the stencils appears that someone forgot to create vssx file.

I use Data Visualizer to produce 186 no. flowcharts of ETL SSIS package process chains from dependency configuration info (which changes from time to time).. The flowchart parameters are identical apart from the data source. it's very time-consuming having to do it manually.

Why can't you add a Domestic Electrical Single Line Diagram conforming with BS7671.
What you have available is not much use to UK Electrical Contractors

For the Flowchart Data Visualizers, please provide the option to create diagram of a specified size, e.g. fit to 1 letter size page, size to 7" x 10", etc., and render accordingly. When I am manually resizing, I end up with lots of white space unless I move around the individual diagram components manually, which defeats the point of using the visualizer tool.

When creating Hyperlinks within a Visio document, the Sub-address selection dialog is horribly unusable.
Specifically, the Page dropdown shows only five pages, meaning that its scrollbar handle is over 50% of the height of the scrollbar itself once up/down buttons are accounted for. As such, the handle is utterly useless. (Especially when there are dozens of pages in the document.) Please make this dropdown taller, so that selecting the appropriate page is not such a chore.

It would be really convenient to be able to highlight a selection or group, right-click and launch the "Save As Picture" dialog immediately - similar to the same menu item in PowerPoint.

Quite often, I use Visio to quickly draft together a couple of shapes to use as an element in another application, and this would save 1-2 clicks over File > Save As > Select File format", and make the "Focused select & save" use-case a little bit more pronounced for new Visio users.

Thanks!

In the same way you can color tabs in Excel, it would be helpful to have that feature in Visio. It's helpful when reviewing comments or addressing comments from teammates. When I am complete with a tab, I could color it green for tracking purposes.

I need to make a block diagram. How about adding shapes for objects? I thought that was the reason for Visio but can't find out how to add them

Earlier versions of Visio exported layer information to PDF which was extremely useful (and encouraged the use of Visio as a preferred drawing tool)
PDFs could then be distributed with the option to switch on and off the layers of information but this feature no longer works. Files can still be Saved/Exported as PDF but all layer information is discarded as if it was printed to PDF instead.

Was there a reason that PDF layer support was dropped?

Ability to open visio documents in edit mode as default. Currently users have to open vision document in view mode before users can edit the document. Loading edit mode takes extra time.

The values (names, labels) of the " group-by" data element is currently not displayed in the subtotal rows. Hence when the option to display subtotals only is selected, one cannot see for which group each subtotal is. I feel this is a flaw that should be corrected.

The mobile/web wireframes are currently only available for Visio Online Plan 2 and not for Visio 2019 Pro which is kind of strange.

The default Visio Fishbone Diagrams are terrible. Attempting to use the stock diagrams for root cause analysis is a nightmare, especially after you get into secondary and tertiary causes.

The template should include locked angles / dimensions - when I try to expand or stretch the diagram, the entire thing pulls with it and turns into a mess.

If this isn't improved, we may drop use of VIsio - please address.

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.

Data Visualizer is great! But with a horiz swimlane cross-functional flowchart, when linked data is specified as preceeding ids, I always get a large unused area to the left of the leftmost node (around 30% of drawing width). This requires manually changing the document layout, shrinking paper size etc. It may be a bug but it should be fixed soon as it reduces productivity gains from using Data Visualiser.

When users use images for eg dialog form it automatically show the dates as the current date. But if images are coming with texts, they should be editable. Users should be able to edit these texts otherwise it doesn't even make sense. Also for the webpage wireframes the users do not have a lot of options of icons.

The subscription version will not open VWI file extensions (Visio Workflow Interchange File) created from SharePoint Designer 2013.
