executive shape is created, it is easy to create manager sub-shapes. The Executive Belt
shape will not offer SmartShapes as this is a hierarchical chart with defined positions.
To insert a manager, simply drag the Manager
Belt
shape onto the Executive Belt shape. You will notice that Visio automatically connects both the shapes. You can add more Manager Belt
shapes onto the Executive Belt shape and Visio
will automatically connect, space, and align all the shapes. You can then enter details into the shapes by zooming in and double-clicking the shape to activate the text box. Unlike the Executive Belt
shape, the manager shapes will offer the choice of using SmartShapes.
