Visio export hints

Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks to external files and web sites are exported to Regular links to files and web sites in Visio.

Hyperlinks to topics within the map are exported as Visio shape hyperlinks to the corresponding shape.

If the map is split across several sheets and the target topic is on another sheet, the hyperlink is exported as a Visio shape hyperlink that jumps to the top shape on the associated Visio sheet.

Topic notes

Topic notes are exported to Visio as a special shape property that can be viewed by right-clicking the shape and choosing MindManager Notes.

When you export your map to Visio the topics are exported in clockwise order, starting with the topic at the 1 o'clock position. Topic trees are exported from the center outward and from top to bottom.

When you select a Microsoft Visio stencil you can choose to import Start and Stop markers. These are imported to the Export Control map marker group.

You can apply Start and Stop markers to indicate where you want to start and stop the export. In this way you can export only a portion of the map, selected sections of the map, or spit the map into several drawings.

To export:	Place start markers:	Place stop markers:
Part of a map	At the first topic to export	At the last topic to export
Selected sections	At the first topic for each section to export	At the last topic for each section to export
Split map	At the first topic for each drawing	(not needed)

Use summary boundaries to indicate sequential process flow.
