  1. Visio tutorial Goal: learn to use Visio to create sketches and simple drawings Creation of multi page drawings with backgrounds Use of pre-existing objects Drawing new objects Connections Use of Snap to Stencils BAE 1012 Data Analysis in Biological Systems Engineering

  2. Creation of drawings: Setup a new page with background • Open Visio and setup a drawing • Note • Rulers indicating drawing scale • Grid providing “snap to” feature • Page indicator at bottom of page • Toolbars – “View/Toolbars” to change Keep “Standard” and Formatting” • Use “Page Setup” to set • Page layout (landscape/portrait) • Paper size • Drawing scale • Page properties (foreground page or background page) • Create new background page • “Edit/Goto/Page../New” • Set the new page property to “background” • Set the properties of page 1 to use the background (“File/Page Setup/Page Properties”) • Select appropriate drawing stencil(s) BAE 1012 Data Analysis in Biological Systems Engineering

  3. Setup Background / Main Page • Open “Stencils/Visio Extras/Title Blocks“ • Select the “Background” page • Drag an auto sizing frame from the stencil to the background page • Select Main Page (Page 1) • Drag and position a title block from the stencil to the page • Use <shift><ctl>drag to zoom in on title box • Fill in the blanks in the title block • Note: • Scale in title box (Visio can automate drawing objects) • Page no. in title box • Select “View/Last Zoom“ to return to last view BAE 1012 Data Analysis in Biological Systems Engineering

  4. Assemble a flowchart drawing • Open a flowchart stencil: “File/Stencils/Flowchart/Basic Flowchart Shapes” • Place an object: Drag and position a terminator from the stencil to the drawing • Note the connection points on the terminator object (blue “x”s) • connecting lines can be drawn from these to other objects • Note sizing handles on the object (green squares) when the object is selected • Label the object: Double click the object and type the label text • Format the fill of the object: • Select the object • Select “Format/Fill” and select the options • Place another object, label it, and format it • Use the Connector Tool to draw a connection between connection points on the objects • Format the connection: Select the connection and use “Format/Line” • Put arrowheads on the connection BAE 1012 Data Analysis in Biological Systems Engineering

  5. Additional skills • Duplicate objects: use <ctl>drag to drag and duplicate • Paste format: use the paste format tool • Shadows: Use “Format/Shadow” to add shadows • Object properties: Right click on object to inspect properties • Reports: Use “Tools/Report” to generate a report of properties • Titles: Use the text tool to insert a text box • Page color scheme: Right click page and select “color schemes…” BAE 1012 Data Analysis in Biological Systems Engineering
