Basics on Visio

[Mr. X.]

Hello.
I have added a connector to my diagram.

1) There are default annoying titles : end1, end2 etc ... - How can I put
connector on my diagram so those title won't appear ?
2) How can I create a control of my own ?
3) How can I allign several controls on my diagram to : left, center, right
etc ... ?

Thanks

1) I have tried it with stencil "UML Static Structure" master "Binary
Association".
Right clilck on "Properties". Click on the button "Properties". Delete the
name.
I don't know if this makes any sence in UML land. You have to accept that
templates and shapes often restrict our freedom for purpose of correctnes. I
vaguely remember that your first question has allready been answered on this
forum.
2) A microsoft Windows (Active X) control is not the same thing as a control
in a Visio shape. I assume you want to know how to give the status of master
to a shape, so that you can reuse it.
So I'll show you the way I would begin teaching it

MY FIRST MASTER SHAPE
Menu, File, Shapes, Show Document Stencil.
Draw e.g. a circle and two lines.
Select them and drag them to the Document Stencil.

3) The is the "Action toolbar" whose first tool is the "Align Shapes
button". To show a toolbar right click in the toolbars area and check the
toolbar. I know toolbars are hard to recognize.
But there is more. I searched for "align shapes" in Visio help. Forget
the toolbar story. Use the menu Shape, Align Shapes .... There is much to
align to.

For your question on a UML tutorial. I don't know but the Visio 2007 Bible
"Wiley" has 26 pages on Building UML models.

Thanks

For Visio 2007 Bible.
I will check if I can use it from library ...
but for now - is there any simmiliar document free (UML pdf ... or something
like ...)

Thanks
