how to make arrow default connector in Visio?

In this article, we are going to set the arrowhead by default with a connector. When we are designing the flowchart then we have to connect them with the help of the line and when we connect them with the connector the arrowhead does not show on it. 

We are going to make it a default when we will connect the shapes then these shapes will automatically contain the arrow.


As we can see before there is no arrow involved but after setting all setting related to the arrow then when we select the connector the arrow appear after connecting the shapes in Visio.

Let's Get Started:
Open Microsoft Visio then insert some shapes then we will see while connecting them with the help of the connector the arrow doesn't appear in it as we can see in the following screenshot.


Now we will move to the More Shapes then there is a small arrow and we will click on it then there will be more options will be available as we can see in the following screenshot.


At the end of the "Show Document Stencil," we will click on it then a by default thing will be open in the shapes pane as we can see in the following screenshot.

Then the recent Document Stencil will appear here. Then we will select the Dynamic Connector in Visio.

Then we will right-click on the Dynamic connector then more options will be there as we can see in the following screenshot.
Go to the Edit Master > Edit Master Shapes.


Then click on the Edit Master Shapes then a new window will be open.


In the above screenshot, we can see there is a connection setting as we can see in the above screenshot. The top site is the arrow start option and the right-side is the end arrow type.



Now select the line then right-click on it then we will see the format shape option.


After clicking on the format the formatting pane will be open on the right-hand side as you can see in the following result.


As you can see on the right side there is begin arrow and an end arrow.
Mostly we use it in our flowchart so we will select the end arrow type.



I am going to select the 08 arrow type then after selecting it our arrowhead will be inserted in the end arrow.



Now we will close it with the help of the close option as you can see in the following screenshot.


When we close it then ask for some more options to save our setting.


After hitting on the "Yes" then it will be closed and our arrowhead will be inserted in the early on shapes that we have inserted at the beginning of the article.



If we will select the connect and connect the first shape with the second on the bottom side then we will see that arrow will automatically be inserted into it.


As we can see that arrow is added along with the connector. In this way, we can make an arrow default connector in Visio.
