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.
I want to be able to do this with connectors. When mapping out piping lines in the field, they use right angles and diagonal connections. Using multiple connectors is inconvenient and would like to have one connector.
