Free Visio webinar featuring Harvard Computing’s Scott Helmers

In many types of Microsoft Visio diagrams, it’s helpful to create visual or logical relationships among sets of shapes. Although you could accomplish this with previous versions of Visio, the results often left a lot to be desired. One of the most intriguing features in Visio 2010 is the ability to create logical and visual relationships using containers, lists and callouts.
