Creating Custom Visio Stencils

[Joel Martinez]

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question, if not I'd like to
request that a moderator please move it to the right place.

On to the question. I'm trying to create a custom Visio stencil which has
the custom look, feel, and features of our application to ease the creation
of mockups. I can create master shapes which have the correct look, and are
glued correctly (for example, a menubar with a few standard menu items in
place). Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to set up the connection
points of the group to be in the top left and top right. I can almost get
the behavior I'm looking for by changing to interaction style to "Line
(1-dimensional)", but the connection points are in the center of each side of
the group.

Basically, I want the ability to set those connection points wherever I want
depending on the shape. I've tried selecting the group and manually adding
a connection point to no avail.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Joel,

Unfortunately, newsgroups don't support forum moderation, so you'll have to
repost. There's a VISIO developer newsgroup which might be the better place for
you to ask
