Making a shape act like a connector and snap to another shape. Visio


I'm pretty new to Visio but I'm trying to figure how I could possible design a stencil to snap to a connector marker on another stencil/shape.

I have looked into actually editing the connector itself too see how its designed. I'm wondering If I could recreate the Endpoint on a single location for a shape stencil. Which would snap into place on to the designated shape, when a user drags it on to the worksheet.

Example 1

Would anyone have any ideas or pointers on how I could achieve this?

  • I found my solution here.

    Pretty much I had to take a 1D shape (A line) and Adjust the parameters of its boundary box inside the master shape, then group it too get it to act like a 2d shape. After, I could edit the group and add the shape I wanted then. Deleting the line and adjusting the endpoints.

    Highly recommend checking the link out. I hope this helps anyone out there with this issue.

    I'm not sure why its really difficult to find information on Visio. Being a 19 year old program. Haha.
