Click Tools, Snap & Glue and place check marks in the Glue and Shape Vertices check boxes.

In Visio 2010, Go to View ribbon → Visual Aids (small arrow) → Enable Snap to shape vertices and Glue to shape vertices

To have an invisible line of connection points, use the Region, Partition shape, and select Connection Points line in the contextual menu.

Apparently this only enables themes in Visio 2010, styles are still hidden

Add styles button by customizing the ribbon (from Commands not in the Ribbon).

Can't see eccentricity handles on arc shape: Problem — According to MS help, if you click on the control point of an arc with the pencil tool, while holding the CTRL key, you will see the arc's eccentricity handles.; Solution ([3]) — Resize the height or width or the shape with the pointer tool (CTRL+1), the re-select the bow point with the pencil tool. The eccentricity handles should appear.; Solution 2 — Open the ShapeSheet, find the EllipticalArcTo corresponding to the segment, and change the value in the D column (set 1 or so).
