Is it possible to make the inheritance arrows just like in the Image bellow in Visio 2013 ? I am trying but I just can't make it happen. I have multiple classes that inherit from one class and I want to do the connection just like in the image below. How can I make it as in the image below in Visio 2013 ?

I stumbled on this and remembered your question. It might be what you're looking for.

Under 'View' from the ribbon select 'Snap & Glue' as shown below (or Alt+F9)

Under the Advanced Tab you can select 'Segment Midpoint' which seems to allow connections points on connection lines.

Not entirely sure if this is what you where trying trying to do, or if you had already ruled this option out, but here it is for your consideration.

There seems no way to do this automatically in Visio 2013 or select a shape/stencil but you have to be a little creative and do it yourself. First you have to connect the Classes with a simple association and then select a Inheritance relation/Arrow and glue it with the association lines you made. One example is in the image below. But Visio should be able to do this automatically or offer such connection.
