Excel does not accommodate Visio type drawings. It might be possible to handle the connectivity programmatically, but there are a lot of details you would have to keep track of. My experience with Visio (not recent) is that Visio is in fact much more elegant than the rest of Office.

It does or it does not paste the whole diagram?

I work as a design engineer and use Excel spreadsheet extensively for design and calculations. We have a spreadsheet for each calculation/equipment sizing. What I would like to do is, to generate a CAD style drag and drop object plate. A user can select a graphical representation of a calculation from object plate and drop it to an Excel sheet and link input data to Excel cells and export calculated data to Excel cells.
In addition, a user can connect/link several objects, so complex calculation scenarios can be performed.
For example, a pump can be linked to a pipe and a pipe to a valve.

This is similar to Drawing Shape in Excel. However, I am do not know how to get connectivity of the objects. In another word, I would like to create a VISIO style of drawing object in Excel.
Using VISIO is not very elegant option based on my experience with a commercial software with integrate VISIO object in Excel.

I appreciate your help in advance,

Unfortunately that is not working here. When I do ctrl A and try to copy paste stuff into Visio it does paste the whole diagram.

Is there any Macro which can be used?

Presumably a drawing created in one Microsoft Office application can be copied and pasted into another Microsoft Office application.

I have create a macro in VBA 2003, which draws a diagram in a excel sheet. Is it possible to export this diagram to visio 2003?

Thanks in advance!
