How to create new drawing categories in Visio 2003

[New Visio 2003 User]

In Visio 2002 new drawing categories could be added by creating a new
directory in C:\program files\microsoft office\Visio 10\1033\Solutions.

Example: C:\program files\microsoft office\Visio 10\1033\Solutions\my
drawing type\drawing type #1 would allow "Darwing Type #1" to be selected
under the drawing category "My Darwing Types" when creating a new drawing.

This feature allowed users to create custom templates and have tyem
accessable without searching for them.

You can do the same in Visio 2003, on the Advanced tab, but there is a new
recommended method using the Visio Publishing Tool, which is part of the
SDK.
