Hello Visio Fans! I received a Visio Partner e-mail a few days ago that contains a fabulous set of links to Visio How-To demo videos. The demos cover new Visio 2007 topics such as DataGraphics, Themes, AutoConnect, PivotDiagrams and Vista integration.
Here are the links to the videos. I hope you find them helpful!
- Show it like it is: Connect data to your Visio diagram
- Build your Visio flowchart in no time with AutoConnect
- Get a new perspective on data with PivotDiagrams
- Windows Vista and the 2007 Office system — better together
- Give your diagram a makeover by applying a theme
- Let data tell its story with data graphics
- Find what you need faster with the redesigned Office Online

Where is the “How To” for visualizing a datacenter? How to take a data source which includes the racks & nodes and display the data using the column for stencil/shape and u location in the rack programatically?

Good stuff Visguy, its good to get these helper tutorial things together. Visio often proves a helpful tool, but not having sat down and learnt it properly, just picking it up for a quick diagram, it is good to have these helpful videos to get you started.
In fact, using Visio to architect solutions or draw diagrams for presentation is the focus of my latest blog entry…

I’m used to being able to grab the background and drag with the mouse cursor to re-position the page view. This is true of Photoshop for example when you press and hold the space bar, click the mouse, and drag around.
It is also sometimes called the “Hand” cursor. MindJet MindManager also has it.
Does something like this exist in Visio 2007? All I can find is the Pan ‘n Zoom window. Photoshop has that too, but it’s just not enough. I’ll be surprised if this vital feature is missing.
Thanks for your help.

Good going, CVU!
It’s not obvious, but Ctrl + Shift + right-mouse-drag is your space bar in the Visio-world!
