Visio Minions SmartShape Concept

June 16, 2015 By Visio Guy 5 Comments

minions-thumb-2Today I had the idea to make a Minions Visio SmartShape. I was primarily interested in controlling eye movement using ShapeSheet techniques.

As a responsible adult, I probably don’t (shouldn’t) have the time to finish it properly. But I thought I’d make this video to show off some capabilities and point out  general concepts that might help to make useful SmartShapes.

Time Lapse Circuit Diagram

September 18, 2014 By Visio Guy 4 Comments

time-lapse-thumbPhotoShop, Illustrator and SketchBook Pro users have all the fun. They make these cool, time-lapse videos, set to trendy, fast-paced music. I know Visio isn’t as cool as those other apps, but a lot of people still love using it. And they like music too! So I whipped out my trusty Camtasia Studio/Recorder and gave it a shot.

Radial Elements Tool

November 5, 2009 By Visio Guy 27 Comments

radial-elements-toolIf you create your own Visio shapes or make drawings that have elements arranged circularly, then you may have experienced frustration.

Visio has the tools to draw circular-arrays of objects, but learning to do it takes time. There are no direct “arrange stuff in circles” functions. You have to cleverly use other functionality to get the job done.

To make things easier for you and me, I invented the Radial Elements Tool solves some of these problems. With this tool, you can create circular arrays of customizable tick marks in seconds!

Harrison Clarity is the star. I call him H.C. Throaty voice. Gets to the point.
