Custom properties contents disappear upon reload of Visio document
I discovered this bug while creating a functional block diagram where shapes
representing electrical equipment are connected with Connectors. Each Connector represents a Functional Channel with a unique ID. I associated such ID to the graphic Connector by creating a Custom Property Set with two properties: Channel ID (ChID) and Description. I typed-in values for such custom properties, by using the Custom Properties Window. In order to enter the typed value I used two strategies: either pressing Enter key or clicking somewhere in the window. By selecting the connectors with the custom properties already set, I could see the correct value stored in each one. This as a confirmation that the process worked. Then I saved the Visio file, closed visio and re-opened the same file. By clicking on the Connectors, I couldn't find any more the Custom Properties values. The Custom Properties are visible in the Custom Properties Window, but their value is blank (i.e. no value). I have Visio 2003 Standard installed on the Dell D630 of my company. Does someone have an idea about how to solve this problem? I don't dare hoping to recover the data, but I'd need to use Custom Properties intensively. Thank you for reading all this stuff. Bye. |
