Controling stencil/master icons

How can I add these details to the icon that is displayed with my own stencils and master shapes? You can have any icon you like, I'll assume here that you are creating your own stencil: 1. put the stencil into edit mode 2. select the master you wish to change 3. right-click it and select Edit Master - Master Properties 4. ensure Generate icon automatically .. is turned off, select OK 5. again, right click the shape Edit Master - Edit Icon Image and you are now in icon edit mode. -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd.

I see it now, thanks Paul.
Is there any specific way to control what order the shapes show up in? They seem to be simply in the order they were first created but can this be controled? |

I am not really sure what you are asking however if you are referring to the
order in which the Organization Charting Solution places shapes on the page it occurs at random. There is no setting in Visio to help users control the order in which shapes are placed on the page. -- James W. "DC Kelley" wrote: I see it now, thanks Paul.

The question has to do with stencil creation and how new master objects are
ordered there. It seems to be be limited to "first come first shown" as the only ordering used. |

Yes, they are normally in the order they were created, however, open the stencil for edit, then just drag 'n' drop into the order you want. -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd.
