Visio Level 2

In this course participants will expand their Visio skills by learning Visio’s advanced features. Stencils and Templates can streamline the creation of drawings. Layers can make it easier to work with complex drawings that contain a lot of shapes. Shape Behavior and Shape Operations can customize the way shapes work or look. Custom Fields allow you to capture data in drawing shapes. By the end of the course, participants will understand and be able to use all of these features of Visio.
