bring back the Re-Layout capability for Crow's foot database notation
The Re-Layout option used to move the entities in a crow's foot database notation template into the shape/sequence selected. This function no longer works with Visio 2013 or 2016. It only alters the positions of the connectors instead of the entities, even if you group the drawing.

Two-D Snap Would Be Nice
As it stands now, you can snap 1D shapes to other 1D shapes or 2D shapes. You cannot snap 2D shapes to 2D shapes. It would be most helpful if we could place one 2D shape in relationship to the location and dimensions of a prior 2D shape, even if they cannot be glued.

Allow icons to be manipulated freely within cross-functionional "Swimlanes" without being impacted.
When there is a significant amount of data with a swim-lane, adding or moving an icon will cause the chart to expand, causing constant rework or "undoing" the change.

Show/Hide connections and elements when zooming (and context)
I work in a very large organization and we need to get a lot of systems into one diagram. To prevent clutter I want to set when to show/hide information based on current zoom level. It could work like a property of a connection where one setting is show when zoom > 50%. Then the diagram. It would also be good to "switch context". The diagram is the edited from to different views. Then I could share my conceptual model with the business and hide names of integrations and add pictures which better explain the diagram to them at the…

Currently the pre-set org charts work well for smaller orgs, but for larger organisation you need to be able to automatically create several rows under each manager so that the chart isn't 10 pages long.

Line and polyline vertices are invisible
The display of internal vertices and arc control points on polylines is wildly dysfunctional. They were much bigger and easier to see in previous versions, but MS made them practically invisible in 2010. Either make the default bigger, or give the user the authority to change how they are displayed.

Build a scheduling board for manufacturing
Hello I am a weld department supervisor for a weld shop of 120+ employees. I have searched and searched for scheduling software that is easy to use and can be rearranged on the fly. My line of work is next to impossible to schedule. Reason being I have people, parts, fixtures, booths, and averages to deal with. Sounds pretty complex right? It gets worse! After everything is well thought out...something will Granade it!! Such as a call in, machine or equipment failure, physical limitation from someone getting put on light duty, and so on. I played around longer than I…

Стандартный набор значков

Individual word highlighting.
I used to be able to click 4 times on text and have the individual word highlight & then Ctrl U to underline. What happened? Now I have to arrow around. Huge time waster.

Stencil name display unstable
When multiple stencils are in use, the displayed name of the active stencil is unstable and difficult to manage. The active stencil and its displayed name should always be that of the last stencil from which a shape was taken.

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.
