// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-diagram/Aspose.Diagram-for-.NET
// The path to the documents directory.
string dataDir = RunExamples.GetDataDir_Shapes();

// Call a Diagram class constructor to load the VSD diagram
Diagram diagram = new Diagram(dataDir + "Drawing1.vsd");

// Get a particular page
Page page = diagram.Pages.GetPage("Page-3");
// Get a dynamic connector type shape by id
Shape shape = page.Shapes.GetShape(18);
// Set dynamic connector appearance
shape.SetConnectorsType(ConnectorsTypeValue.StraightLines);

// Saving Visio diagram
diagram.Save(dataDir + "SetConnectorAppearance_out.vsdx", SaveFileFormat.VSDX);
