How do i give each shape in visio an unique ID (auto-generated)

T

Thorsander

I would like each shape I drop to my work area (page) a unique ID number
(visualized trough a string inside the shape). It should be auto generated on
each screen so if i have 3 shapes on page one and four shapes on page two it
should look like this:
1-01, 1-02, 1-03 (one number per shape)
2-01, 2-02, 2-03, 2-04 (one number per shape)

The page number e.g. 1-xx isn't problematic - It is the unique shape number
x-01 that i cant solve.

Sincerly,
Thorsander

Have you tried the Number Shapes add-on?
(Under Tools / Add-Ons / Visio Extras )
