Microsoft Visio 101

OnceVisio is associated with your Microsoft account, you no longer need the product key. It will always be linked to your account and you can re-download the app or manage your license from account.microsoft.com.

Locate the version of Visio you want to install and select Install. If you have multiple Microsoft 365products you may have to scroll through the list of products associated with this Microsoftaccount.

Find Visio from the list and choose your language and the 64-bit or 32-bit version, then select Install Visio. (If you have any other Microsoft 365 apps installed, make sure to select the same bit version for your Visioinstallation. What version of Office am I using?)

Microsoft HUP: You bought Visio for personal use through your company HUP benefit and have a product key, see Install Office through HUP (These steps apply to all stand-alone Microsoft 365 products purchased through HUP.)

I am using Microsoft Visio 2019, when I have a project with a decent amount of object 50-100 object plus connectors and I try to zoom with the trackpad. Shortly after its done zooming the program freezes and it will say visio has stopped working in the top and then hole computer gets slow and laggy and when I look on the task manager it says something is using all of my RAM (32GB) and then shortly after the CPU usage goes up to 100% and then the Disk usage goes up to 100%, and then after some 15 seconds they all fall down and sometimes Visio begins to work again, other times it crashes.

I have a Dell XPS 17 9700 with I7-10875 8-core processor and the 32GB of RAM.

I am trying to bring in an org chart for under 300 people into PowerBI and am getting the error that there are too many shapes to display in PowerBI. I know the limit is 1,000. After some investigation, I found that for each 'shape' representative of a person, it adds 10 shapes to the layer. I have tried removing data I had imported and the photo box. only the latter made an impact, reducing from 10 shapes to 9 shapes per resource.

Has anyone else encountered this issue and identified how to overcome it. I have looked in Visio forums and can't see it there either although I imagine this would moreso be an issue unique to use in PowerBI.

I've been able to find a solution as provided by the Tell Visio team. I recommend using Workaround 3 with the Unique Key Workaround. They can be completed at the same time when in the stencil to save time. The latter is required because by selecting only 1 shape to pull through to a # layer in workaround 3, the unique key data is not pulled through with it into PowerBI and hence the automapping cannot take place.

Problem:

The shape that I used (ie. in the org chart) is a group shape and has 10 shapes within it. It has properties that protect the shape which inhibit selecting sub-shapes or even ungrouping the group shape.

It look like you hit the limitation that the amount of shapes are over 1000. Per my research, I didn't find any solution to workaround this limitation. Maybe you could ask for support from tell...@microsoft.com.
