How to record a macro in Visio 2002

[pman]

I would like to automate some tasks in Visio 2002 but I can not find in the Tools / Marco menu the "Record New Macro" item as I can find for instance in Excel. Is there an option to set in order to be able to record a macro

Thanks very much

as far as i know, Visio 2002 doesn't support this feature...

The feature is new in Visio 2003.

Hi,

I would like to use macro recorder to see code generated
when you delete connections between two shapes. Visio 2002
doesn't support this feature... and it's the only version
i have. As you mentionned the feature is new in Visio 2003.

If someone as VISIO 2003, could record me a macro deleting
connections between two shapes...

Thanks for your help!

Two squares are dropped on a page and a line connecting them is added (shape
#3)

When deleting the connecting line, the recorded macro is:
ActiveWindow.Select Application.ActiveWindow.Page.Shapes.ItemFromID(3),
visSelect
Application.ActiveWindow.Selection.Delete

So the first line of the recorded macro selects the third shape on the page
(the connecting line) and the select line deletes the shape.
