Hi all, is it possible to Adjust the colour of a Connector across multiple pages ?

I have 1 connector in page1
I have 1 connector in page2
I have 1 connector in page3

I'd like to select the connector in page1, change it to red and the connectors in page2 and page3 all change to red.

I will end up have hundreds of lines on each tab but I'm only ever going to select one from each tab at a time.

This is for a network wiring diagram which shows each network rack as a page, the cables (connectors) go through multiple racks before the source and destination devices are connected. Instead of having too much information on a single tab I'd like to break it up into multiple tabs but still be able to "follow" a cable across all the equipment it connects to, i.e. switch, fobot, fobot, switch.

You need to set references in the shapesheet to your connector on page1.

e.g. LineColor Cell: =Pages[page-1]!Sheet.5!LineColor

Better GUARD that Formula to not accidentally change the color...

thanks for your answer, however would there be an easier way ? I would have multiple users doing this and I would like to keep it as simple as possible.

Also on retrospect I'd like to be able to select the connector from any page and change it's colour.

Possible with ShapeSheet only.
See attached Visio.
I assume that your connectors have a property for the net name.
