Right Angle Connectors are now going Diagonal?
- Oct 04, 2019
I found the solution.
It doesn't have anything to do with the ShapeSheet.
What happened, was I changed the page settings:
Design > Page Setup
I removed "Auto Size"
But since this involves changing settings for the Page, Visio creates gremlins for anything that is also tied to the Page settings. In this case:
Design > Page Setup > Layout and Routing
... is also encased in the Page. So it broke itself.
Solution:
Delete every connector
Delete the Master "Dynamic connector"
Create a new Page
Copy all shapes over to Page-2
Delete Page-1
Reconnect every connector
Luckily for me, I only had 20 connectors to recreate. Hopefully this thread comes in handy for someone else!
*EDIT: Clarification*
The images I have shown look like the diagonals are moving at angles parallel to the shapes.
The reality is, every connector was moving at a different odd angle. If I created new Squares, no ShapeSheet data, the connectors still moved at strange angles. There was no convergence to where they were pointed. All settings for angular snapping were disabled.
