I am currently trying to understand .vdx files because in the future I want to create my own. I have problems with dynamic connectors. Defining them as follows:
<Shape ID="46" Type="Shape" Master="10">
<Geom IX="0">
<MoveTo IX='1'></MoveTo><LineTo IX='23'></LineTo></Geom>
</Shape>
....
<Connect FromSheet="45" FromCell="BeginX" FromPart="9" ToSheet="1" ToCell="PinX" ToPart="3" />
<Connect FromSheet="45" FromCell="EndX" FromPart="12" ToSheet="23" ToCell="PinX" ToPart="3" />
they are not displayed. After moving the node, the connectors are displayed. What am I missing?
When using the minimum settings from a .vdx file created by Visio, there are many coordinates that I want to avoid:
<Shape ID="47" Type="Shape" Master="10">
<XForm>
<PinX F="Inh">1.669258233656828</PinX>
<PinY F="Inh">7.519214852067909</PinY>
</XForm>
<XForm1D>
<BeginX F="_WALKGLUE(BegTrigger,EndTrigger,WalkPreference)">1.737275462308963</BeginX>
<BeginY F="_WALKGLUE(BegTrigger,EndTrigger,WalkPreference)">7.671541057367827</BeginY>
<EndX F="_WALKGLUE(EndTrigger,BegTrigger,WalkPreference)">1.601241005004693</EndX>
<EndY F="_WALKGLUE(EndTrigger,BegTrigger,WalkPreference)">7.366888646767992</EndY>
</XForm1D>
<Geom IX="0">
<LineTo IX="2"><X>-0.1664424255025283</X><Y>-0.3046524105998358</Y></LineTo>
</Geom>
</Shape>
What is the best and easiest way to work with dynamic connectors in .vdx files?
EDIT: In Visio 2010, this is much better and connectors are displayed most of the time. So it really looks like a Visio error ...
