One-to-many connector

[Raphael Goubet]

Hi,

How can I draw a single connector starting from one shape and pointing
to more than one shape? Now, I draw several connectors and overlap
them, but it's getting annoying when changing the layout of the
diagram.

Thanks in advance.

Try "Multi Tree Square" on the "Connectors" stencil under "Visio Extras"

Hi,

The Multi-Pronged connectors can be used from the Connector stencils

1. Launch Visio
2. Open the drawing where munti-pronged connectors are required
3. From File Menu > Select Stencils > Visio Extras > Connectors
4. This stencil contains the Multi-Pronged connectors which you can use

However you may note that the connector originates as one and extends to a maximum of 6 branches. (This can be achieved by selecting the Control Handle which is yellow in color and
dragging it where required)
If one requires more branches, then

Thanks and regards,

With this connector, I have a problem with adding arrowheads. I want
them to appear only at the end of the connector (if I select an ending
arrowhead), but instead, one appears next to every yellow handle,
including the one right next to the cross point.

If one requires more branches, then

Er... ?

Thanks!
