Containers allow to group Components, e.g.Connectors link components with each other, and they each have one associated data: the number of physical signals carried by this link (think “number of individual wires”).Components each have their own cost/mass/power consumption/volume, assigned through shape data window.The resulting sandbox I experimented with, as well as VBA implementation notes (in excruciating details, mostly as a memo to myself) are provided below. Interface coloring & counting implementation.My specific intent was to apply this to electronics/mechanical block diagrams to provide instant visual feedback about cost, power consumption, volume, and mass, as a function of what components were added/removed from the diagram, and how they where interconnected. displaying resulting data directly on the diagram.performing automatic data computation within Visio, without having to export/import to/from an external tool.associating data to shapes in my diagrams.I was not aware of the very large developer community around Visio either. I’m using Microsoft Visio quite often at work, and came to realize that it can do so much more than drawing nice diagrams.
