Export to Office as SmartArt. I try to create digital assets that clients can edit themselves (key reason for using Word rather than InDesign when creating large documents, and PowerPoint rather than Illustrator/Photoshop when creating slide decks and visual tools). While it would be awesome if all my clients had Visio, we know that won't happen. So if I could create org and flow charts in Visio, then convert to SmartArt in Word and PowerPoint, I can add value to my services (creating epic/stellar charts and diagrams) and Microsoft Office apps.

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.

Return the reverse engineering tool to MS Visio as an add-in for non-Online customers...please.

There are a host of options in Measurement units under Page Setup but not for inches in fractions. Should be a fairly easy fix since Feet-Inch (1'-0") already provides that option in Shape Data. The problem here is that it only applies to one measurement at a time rather than an entire drawing.

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 would like a way of setting the default data graphics in Visio. So I can turn off and on linked data.

Currently the template only allows for Finish-Start relationships between tasks. In reality, there are 3 other link types that are not available in Visio (Start-Finish, Start-Start, Finish-Finish). While Finish-Start links are the most common, the absence of the other link types really limits the functionality of the Visio GANTT Template.

Help to document ETL processes..with tables/files as nodes and SSIS pkgs as connectors. Raw source info is typically is in 3 no. config. tables that control exe'n sequence (item, package, dependency). Such a flowchart could also be used for PERT/CPA diagrams.

If you generate a report to HTML or Excel you are stuck with a default format. It would be good to be able to create and use a custom template.

Currently, you can only export BPMN diagrams to Microsoft Flow from Visio. What other stencils would you want to use to export to Microsoft Flow from visio?

When I rename a page Visio move the diagram in the left bottom corner of the page. This is a very annoying "feature".

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 period

I had 16 MB file a with 20 pages. I need to have a simple file where I have only one page left for sharing.
I select from menu "Delete pages..." select 19 of the pages, and press [Ok].
After that my CPU is running around 10+ min average 89% where Visio 2016 is on the top. Something is very wrong on this.

Have you ever wondering why removing page is so complicated, especially when you need to remove 10+ pages. Right click, delete, wait, right click, delete, wait...

But if you go to customize ribbon, there is a command "Delete Pages..." AVAILABLE! But definately it is well hidden!

Bring it visibile !!!

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.
