Some Visio goodness

Found a great Visio-related posting on Darren Norton‘s blog …

I’ve been doing a lot of Visio work lately, working on presentations for my employer. Here is a list of useful Visio stencils, downloads, and even a blog:

• Blogging on Visio – from the lead Visio Program Manager.
• Great Shapes for Conceptual Architecture Diagrams in Visio (Part 2) – instructions on how to improve your diagrams, including a server shape download.
• Great Shapes for Conceptual Architecture Diagrams in Visio (Part 3) – how to create your own Visio shapes (SVG format) and the popular Microsoft “web service” shape download.
• Visio Download Sites – good list of downloads from a Visio MVP.
• Stencil Download – UML 2.0 template for Visio that does not do any validation of your UML, highly recommended.
• Stencils for the Savvy Manager’s Guide – ideas for some decent stencil shapes, though I didn’t actually pay the money and download them.
