Can I create a template of Shape Custom Properties and use that t.

[Vincent Fournier]

Lets say I create a stencil with objects that represent 10 different end user
devices. I decide that all 10 of these objects will have the same custom
properties such as (Hardware, OS, etc..). Is there a way to create a
template this custom property collection and assign it to all 10 end user
visio objects or do I have to go into each of the 10 on the stencil and
create the same custom properties for each?

Hello Vincent,

You can do it with code:

Loop all Master Objects
Open them
Add the custom properties
Close them

I am new to programming with Visio. Is there a link you can send me to with
some sample code?

OK. I figured out how to loop all Master Objects
I have an object of type master opened

Cant figure out what to do next.........

Where are the custom properties found????

In Visio 2003, use the Custom Property Sets feature to create a set of the
custom properties you want and apply that to all your masters.
