A lot of Visio functionality and behavior is specific to a page, not a
layer. You might look into using background pages. Create two pages and
put one diagram type on each. Then under File Page Setup set on to be a
background page and the other to be a foreground page that uses the
background page. The result is a two diagrams on one page!

Also, you can right-click individual connectors and change the way they
look to some extent as well....

Hello all,

I'd like to know if it's possible to have a flowchart
with all it's goodies on one layer and an org chart with
its goodies on another to create on overall document. I'm
new to visio. I created an org chart, added a new layer
and activated it. I then started putting flowchart
symbols on the new layer but the connectors looked
like "org chart" type connectors (i.e. they weren't
arrows). I tried altering the style of the connectors but
there was no option to turn them into flowchart type
flowlines I get when I ask Visio to create an actual
flowchart. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff
