Microsoft have unleashed a new exciting, interface paradigm on the world with
Windows 8. The Microsoft Design Language (formerly referred to as the Metro UI)
puts data to the forefront.
You can now add Metro style icons to your Visio diagrams with over 1,700
different vector SmartShapes split into 19 different stencils.
All editions of Microsoft Visio 2010+ can be used to make many different types of
diagrams, and most of these types involve connecting one shape to another - sometimes
directly, and sometimes by using a connector shape.
However, Microsoft forgot to make it easy to select the connected shapes in order
to enhance these useful, informative types of diagrams. We have created a Visio
add-in that presents you with a variety of selection methods whenever you select
a connected shape.
Microsoft Visio 2010+ Professional and Premium editions provide PivotDiagrams to
enable you to analyze and visualize data from a variety of sources.

Microsoft Visio is a most useful and versatile diagramming application that has
the ability to include information with every single item. Although Microsoft Visio
can be installed in many different language versions, it is not possible to maintain
multiple language shape text or page names in the same document. Multi-Language
Text for Visio 2010 enables you do just that, and can easily switch the diagram
text between different languages. It will even attempt to automatically translate
all of the text for you.
Microsoft Visio is a most useful and versatile diagramming application that has
the ability to export a page or a selection of shapes to a variety of different
image file formats, both raster and vector. However, it is not possible to export
a selection of pages, automatically named, in one click. bVisual have now developed
an add-in for Microsoft Visio 2010 that enables you to put export a selection of
pages, automatically named consistently into a folder of your choice.
The new Validation API enables businesses to write custom validation rules to suit
their own purposes. Microsoft Visio 2010 provides built-in rule sets for flowcharts,
BPMN diagrams and SharePoint Designer Workflows. However, it does not provide a
rule set developer interface for the analyzing, amending or creating rules. This
Rules Tools add-in fills this gap by providing an extra group in the Process tab
in Visio 2010 that allows users to analyze existing rules, display issues, and to
export/import rule sets.
DataLegends for Microsoft Office Visio 2007 Professional adds essential legends
for External Data recordsets, Data Graphic Icon Sets and Color By Value PLUS extra
Data Graphic Callouts (Headings, Text Callouts, Data Bars and Icon Sets)
Microsoft Visio is a most useful and versatile diagramming application that has
the ability to include information with every single item. Although Microsoft Visio
is inexpensive, and widespread, there are, unbelievably, still some people who need
to see Visio documents but do not have the actual application available.
The business world is changing. The level of risk faced by all businesses is increasing.
If that were not enough the demands being made by statutory and regulatory bodies
in relation to the monitoring and reporting on certain types of risk is adding yet
another layer of complexity. And the penalties for failing to manage risk effectively
are commensurately greater.

Microsoft Office Visio shape developers often need to copy custom properties, user-defined
cells, actions and connection points from one master to another. celMaker is a developers
tool that allows selected ShapeSheet™ sections to be documented, verified, enhanced
and propagated from one Visio master to another, including the migration of complex
formulae.
