Print dialog page to have a button for "print current page".
I almost always want to print just the current page of a diagram. It seems there's plenty of real estate on the print page to have a "print current page" button - especially with modern sized monitors. Either that or the document dropdown menu under settings could stick at the last used value.
It would stop me being annoyed every time I print something plus save the planet some paper when I occasionally print all pages of a large multi page diagram.2 votes -
Store the font for the shape by name not ID
When you set a fonts other than Arial it is stored as a font ID in the shape, if you open that font on a different PC the font ID don't always line up and you get a different font.

Allow in file image resources
Allow a file package to contain referenced and unreferenced images that could be swapped dynamically. Using Shape.ChangePicture (and a ShapeSheet function of course) the currently unused ChangePictureFlag parameter could support ‘local’ in-package images as a source:
• VisChangePictureFlags.visChangePictureSearchFileSystem
• VisChangePictureFlags.visChangePictureSearchPackageUnder this scenario, the first would be the default, as per existing functionality, and the second would enable an existing image (in the ‘media’ folder within the file package) to be referenced by name.
This would allow a ShapeSheet function to toggle through a range of images with no code.
From a UI perspective, this implies the addition of an…

Document level theme filtering
Allow a document cell to filter the available themes in the ribbon theme gallery.
Some themes are not suitable for a particular solution. For example, you might want to prevent the user from applying some of the hand drawn themes such as 'Pen' and 'Pencil' to a completed process diagram or electrical layout.
Equally, where a solution's color logic relies on, say, Accent 2 being lighter than Accent 4, it would be great to be able to filter the available themes to just those that conform to that rule.
If the Document ShapeSheet carried, either a specific cell or some…

Provide column and row filtering for SharePoint Lists using Data Selector, just like Excel
The Data Selector for Excel and Access allows for row filtering and column selection. This should be allowed for SharePoint Lists too.

Locked Layers in Visio Services
Do not allow selections of shapes on Locked Layers in Visio Services.
Seems inconsistent that in Visio you have the ability to prevent the selection of shapes that are on a Locked layer, but this behaviour is not carried through into Visio Services.
There are shapes that we lock in Visio from selection for a reason - would be good to have the same in the browser.

Programatically plot points on Connectors
It is not possible to programmatically route a connector through a specified path as the Geometry section essentially becomes read only for 1D objects.

Allow Ink and Reviewer pages in Visio Services
There is no support for "Ink, Reviewer pages, Macro, OLE or other objects in Visio Services". Macro and OLE are understood because of security implications, but Ink and Reviewer pages would be very useful to allow further reviewing comments and other perspectives within the browser.

Bring back the configuration submenu for positioning the infomation inside the Orgchart Shapes
The new Orgchart has no longer the config menu for positioning the Shape data - so the idea is to use the data graphics to Show it as text - but using the data graphics text you are not able to get the same design - it`s a problem to bring them aligned to the box - the previous menu was much easier to use - another point is to get a simple - call it boring - non design, just a box, version of an OrgChart box back again
