You tell the shape which part of the text goes where by separating the three items with a semicolon.

So this first flavor allows you to type one block of text that holds the information for all three bits. Doing that three times for each connector could get old. When you’re editing the text in a Visio diagram, it can get a bit tedious to have to pick up the mouse, click on a shape, possibly enter text edit mode, then return to the keyboard to type. Instead, I’ll discuss the three methods I came up with for inputting the text.

For you Visio-geeks out there, I’ll hint that ShapeSheet functions added in Visio 2010 make this much more do-able, although it wasn’t impossible in Visio 2007.

The middle text can then be used to add some extra information. I can see that terminal USB In 1 connects to USB Out without following the connector all the way to the other end. This allows you to more easily read diagrams where connectors connect things that are far apart. The text at one end of the connector reflects the terminal at the other end. The goal is to enable users to label connectors something like this:

I’ve been working on a three-label, Visio dynamic connector and thought I’d share some of my design thoughts with you.
