Arrows & Line weight shortcut in visio 2010

[Ro'ee]

Hello,

I recently upgraded the visio 2003 to visio 2010, and I was wondering
what happend to the Arrows, Dashes and weight shortcut that were
available on the line toolbar?

In visio 2010, there is a line sub-menu under the shape group of the
home ribbon. After pressing the line sub-menu, one have to press on
the weight and to choose the needed weight every time he wants to
change the weight (or arrow or dashes) of the line.

Even if we add customized group to the home ribbon, which includes the
weight, and arrow sub-menus it still inferior to the implementation on
visio 2003. There is no option to quickly set the selected line with
last chosen arrow (or weight) by simpy pressing on the weight button
(instead of opening its sub-menu).

Am I missing something? Are there any alternatives in visio 2010?

Roee

I don't think you are missing anything, but remember, the new UI has been designed to
improve your user experience.
