Smart graphics for visual people
Why wait ’til next year?
You can download a Visio-based baseball scorecard template, just in time for the season. Whether you are involved with Little League, Babe Ruth, American Legion or the company’s after-work softball Beer League, the authorities on your team will appreciate this little bit of after-the-whistle-blows organization.
Awesome, BABY!
It’s March already, and that means college hoops, the NCAA tournament and MARCH MADNESS!

Fall has arrived and Oktoberfest has started here in Munich!
The world’s biggest beer festival started 200 years ago, so to commemorate the bicentennial, and involve you in the revel, we’ve created a Visio Beer Maßkrug SmartShape just for you!
If you liked our last Advent Calendar from 2006, then you’re sure to enjoy this year’s fresh, new version!
March Madness is upon us!
The teams have been selected, and those of us who still have an office to go to are busily thinking about our picks for who will make it to the Final Four.

Today’s post, like the Visio Guy web-site, is all about creating smart graphics.
We’re going to create an evergreen tree shape that fades as its size decreases. With this one single SmartShape you’ll be able to illustrate an entire forest-scene that fades into the mist. And you won’t have to format each tree individually.
You will learn how to cut Visio shapes into pieces and union the bits together to form new shapes. You’ll learn how to add parameters to shapes, and fill them with Excel-like ShapeSheet formulas create sophisticated graphical behavior. And you’ll create a context menu that resets the shape with a click of the mouse.
December is here and Christmas is near! What better way to celebrate than with your very own Visio Advent Calendar!
I’ve created a Visio file that’s full of all sorts of goodies. Just open the file every day from now until December 25th and you’ll get a new visual, Visio treat!
Well folks, it’s snowing here at Visio Guy Headquarters in Munich! So I guess it’s time to start thinking winter after all. And that’s just what this article and download are all about: Winter! Visio and Winter! Visio and Winter and Snowflakes!
So let’s forget about BPM, Org Charts and Network Diagrams for a while, and hark back to the winters of our youth, when we’d busily be folding paper and cutting away triangular bits, in the mad pursuit to decorate our windows with paper snowflakes.
I’ve coddled together a little tutorial that shows you how to use Visio’s Fragment, Union, Combine and Trim functions to create snowflakes — “ just like you did back in kindergarten! And the download contains some Visual Basic for Applications code to help you “do the unfolding” automatically!
