Visio 2016

Question

My manager just let me get Visio 2016 and to my great dismay there still seems to be no way to edit the default connector tool  That is,  I HATE that it defaults to an arrow on the end and you can't change it!  So annoying!!  And, yes I know you can edit each connector (giant pain) or edit the Dynamic shape,  but that's NOT what I want.  I wan to be able to open a new doc and use the connector tool without those darn arrows! I don't need to be doing this every darn time I need to create a new doc. Any way around this or are simply stuck with this nonsense?

Answer 1

Which theme you use as default ?

Just change your theme to No theme! After this all connectors in your documents became with no line ends.

You can remove all unused themes with my macro

Sub KillThemesFromDocuments()

' this code originally posted at

' http://visio.getbb.ru/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=620

Dim pg As Page

For Each pg In ActiveDocument.Pages

    pg.ThemeColors = "visThemeNone"

    pg.ThemeEffects = "visThemeEffectsNone"

Next

ActiveDocument.RemoveHiddenInformation (visRHIStyles)

End Sub

And after this steps save this document as visio template, and create all you new documents based on this template !

Surrogate, we have many fine beers in my home state of Wisconsin, I now owe you some!  Thanks for pointing out the obvious thing I was missing.  Some themes are nice though; may have to find one that doesn't alter the connector.
