Re: representing connections with a dot in VISIO

I made my own Visio schematic package.

For the connecting dot, I think what you want is a circle centered on two
INVISIBLE crossed lines. As I recall, lines can be invisible. Store this
as a Visio shape, and you're done.

Is there any EASY way to show a schematic in Visio with a wire
connecting with a dot and not connecting by just passing over the wire?

I have used Visio for drawing schematics many times in the past. I
have always been frustrated with the Visio way of drawing single wire
connections. The convention Visio uses is like the old schematics from
the middle of the 20th century. That is, all wires NOT connected are
shown with the wire jumping (bridging/hopping) over the wire. A
connection is shown when the wire crosses straight over the wire. Is
there any EASY way to show a schematic with a wire connecting with a
dot and not connecting by just passing over the wire as a real modern
schematic is generated? I once "created" a dot to put on a connected
intersection, but I felt that it complicated my effort.

Note that I draw schematics about once a year or so, so I don't need a
cad package.
