Rather than require the user to have excellent drawing skills, the user selects pre-drawn shapes from a template and drags them to the drawing. This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to using Visio. - The user is not limited to the templates provided by Visio.
- Items on a Visio drawing can be interrogated by a program. The Visio drawing can be used as a graphical front end to a database.
- Items on a Visio drawing can be manipulated by a program.
HistoryVisio was first released by Shapeware in November, 1992. In early 1994, Shapeware, later renamed Visio, asked four CompuServe users, Steve Rindsberg, Dave Brodsky, Ward Yelverton and John Marshall to act as volunteers in the Visio section on CompuServe. The reason for choosing these four was their volume and nature of their responses. Dave joined Visio and is now an MS employee, Steve provides technical support as a MS PowerPoint MVP, John continues as a MS Visio MVP.
