I suppose there is no solution from within Visio, exept I will have got the Professional-Version instead. which I want manipulate, more dynamically - as paths and folderstructure of the Viso-project may not always be the same.

I suppose that if using Visual Studio I will have the advantage to find and handle those objects. I suppose as vsdx-files has to be handled as one package (and not as xml-file) I have to (!) use Visual Studio instead of a simple change via Notepad++. The problem lies in the fact that xml-files are not the same as vsdx-files: Visio says that it can't open the file or component, because it is corrupted. zipĤ) Searched for the name of the connector and found it in folder 'page1'ĥ) Changed the name of the connection via Notepad++Ĩ) Tried to open the regained. I saved the file and closed it.Ģ) Changed the type of the file from.

The connector has got a name which I surely will find in any XML-file later. Therefore, this is my first step I tried:ġ) I draw two shapes with Visio, connecting them with a connector. This I have read - or tried to understand: So far as I understand Visio 2013 Professional is providing this solution (See first sentence of description.), only.

What we have got at work is Visio 2013 Standard (not Professional). The reason why I am thinking about XML and packages: But so far I did not find a easy way to get this data into Visio. It is easy to get a txt- or csv-file from Doors. I want to see those values kept in Doors on Visio-diagramms. Values and names are documented in doors. I want to make project-data more easier to understand. Usually I have got nothing to do with XML or VB-packages. I am working as a embedded software developer. I write this (preferably) as a user of Visio. Although, I require some basic underständing. name of a connector between two shapes, giving it a name from outside of Visio (e.g. Futher I have got Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition.Ĭhanging e.g.
