Hiding Control-Points

[Thomas Büter]

Hi!

I have a question concerning the view of a visio diagram.

I created a dataflew-diagram. In this diagram I Have steps (1 - 7) The steps
are indicated with a circle-shape. When I am expanding at full view you're
still able to see the control points of these shapes. The problem is, that
the control points are hiding the actual content of the circle. So you cannot
see through these controlpoints and you're not able to recognize the acutal
content of these shapes.

My question now:
How is it possible to hide the control- and connectionpoints of shapes?


Best regards,

Connection point visibility can be turned on and off via menu View ->
Connection Points.
Controls should only be visible when the shape is selected. Can you
expand a bit about what you are seeing?

Servus Thomas,

You mean the little pink/purple X things, right?

Go to View > Connection Points to turn them off. (Ansicht >
Verbindungspunkte) There are also toolbar buttons to do this more quickly.
