You want to put text on a line, but it’s the wrong direction or along the line. Here’s how to get that right.
It seems that printing from Visio is not particularly obvious. So this post covers how I would print documents from A4 to A0 paper sizes and some tips on getting good results.
The post looks at using the Union of shapes in Visio to create unusal shaped objects. Especially useful when trying to draw zones to show the DMZ in dual layer firewall cluster.
Following my previous articles, lets go a little deeper in labelling the VLAN created and ways to handle multiple VLANs on a diagram.
Continuing on with absurdly popular posts about making diagrams in Visio. Lets draw a line in freehand. It will be broken, because we aren’t artists so lets talk about how to fix it.
In this post we are looking at aligning shapes in straight lines which will enhance your presentation.
Once you are using background shapes, you find that they keep on getting in the way. This post looks at how to lock the shape so you diagram over the top of it.
Lets build the Layer 3 segment from yesterday’s post into something you can use in a detailed design.
One of the most common items that we need to draw are VLANs and Layer 3 segment. Lets look at one way to create a useful shape.
