Re: 3 dimension image rotation



Hello 101,

The short answer is no.

Visio is basically a 2D application and as such enables you to draw in an xy
space. That said, there are ways to produce faux 3D to some extent but this
is really limited to an impression of 3D.

However if you're looking to show front and back rack views my
recommendation would be to have a front rack view page and a back rack view
page. You could easily link the data between the front and rear view's of
the shapes and with hyperlinks your could 'rotate' (or at least flip) the
view. You won't necessarily get any clever animation, which if it's really
vital you should look at WPF, but in terms ease of linking the actual rack
data to the diagram Visio is hard to beat.

Best regards

John

I was wondering if Visio supports a 3D image rotation. Here is the problem
I
am having:
I am drawing a computer rack with servers, routers, and other network
hadware, and what I need to do is show how the equipment is connected. I
can
create a front image of the rack but it would be really helpful if the
rack
could be rotated and allow a "back" view of the equipment and then setup
all
the connections. I don't know if other people have a need for a complete
3D
image of their drawings, but from an application standpoint this would
allow
the creation of "complete" drawings instead of a flat front image that
sometimes just doesn't meet the need.
