Right Angle Connectors are now going Diagonal?

Hey, I've been working on this Visio diagram for some time now, and I have nearly got every hidden setting working in my favor. Unfortunately, something happened to my connectors, they ALL ARE DIAGON...

    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.
