In Visio, how do I get the normal looking arrows? (The line arrows not the triangle ones)

Question

http://www.dofactory.com/Patterns/PatternFlyweight.aspx

There is a UML diagram on that page. It has three different kinds of connections. The shared aggregation connection, the generalized connection (triangle arrow), and the other one... How do I get the other one in Visio? I can't find it...

Thanks.

Answer 1

It isn't "there". You need to specify the "Begin" and "End" shapes for your line, from the Format -> Line menu (or "More line ends" in the lines drop-down menu)

Answer 3

Adjusting the line formatting on arrows found in the shape libraries is buggy and tedious for me. I think the simplest to use arrow in Visio 2010 is on the ribbon Home > Tools > Connector. It's easy to modify it to look like any of the arrows that Michael referenced in his link.

Answer 4

I think you want the Dynamic Connector which, in the past, would appear as standard among the Basic Flowchart Shapes.
