Title: How to Connect Shapes to Text Boxes in Visio 2013?
Post by: Haswell on December 15, 2014, 03:30:26 PM
I am documenting our network topology in Visio 2013, and I can't figure out how out to connect the stencils to text boxes. 

I want to be able to move a  text box around and have the connection line stay connected to the stencil on the other end.

Hi Haswell,
I think you are looking for a "callout". Browse your stencils, you should find some

Awhile back, I was developing a "smart" callout.  I've attached an updated version, which is more of a "universal" callout.  Has many more features than the standard Visio callout.

Hope it's useful.
