Limitations of Visio 2003

[TommyD]

Is there anywhere that the limitations of Visio 2003 are documented. I ask
this because I am having problems with a couple of drawings with have many
connection points and connectors which are glued to these connection points.
When I try to add more to the drawing, the glueing of the connector fails. I
can also take a connector which is glued and unglue it but then it will not
re-glue. I do not know precisely how many objects or connections are
currently on the drawing.

Visio does stop glueing connectors if the number of shapes or connections
points is high for a given region of the drawing. I don't know if there is
an easy way to quantify this limit.

Thanks for the information. Will the glueing for other parts of the drawing
still work or does it stop for the whole drawing. Also, you seem to indicate
that there is a way to quantify this phenomenon, but that it is difficult.
Can this be quantified using code? If so, what would I need to do?

Thanks,

I don't know the details, sorry. I believe the limit is based on some
density factor, not just the total number of connection points.
