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…

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

Pre Processing Phase for Visio Web Access for Visio COM Addins
It would be great to have a chance to manipulate the shapes before they are displayed. Premier use case is to update the title to a user specific language. This might have been possible with the Silverlight solution in 2010 but it is impossible now.

Visio Live with an extension strategy (FlowChart and BPMN is mostly needed)
We are very often in highly competitve situations, when people are asking for modelling on the web / Zero installation solutions. We do not need full fledge Visio. How about generating a modeller from a fixed stencil? No acces of ShapeSheets allowed.

legend resize
I would like to point that it would be interesting to be able to resize a legend in height. We can only resize it in width for now.
