Hi,
We want to use Visio as a prototyping tool for designing GUI windows.
I want to make a Visio template with shapesheet for the project so that they
can just drag&drop a default window from the shapesheet. With the shape I
want to set some custom properties, like window title. Now that's not a
problem by using a field in the shape's text.
I would also like to make the window size adjustable using custom
properties. Here's the problem, we use pixels to define width & height, not
mm (or any other unit which Visio does provide). It's not an option to set
the working unit to pixels.
My idea was to make a custom property for width and height and link these to
the actual size properties of the shape, using a certain ratio, which I can
calculate.
Is this possible? So when a designer adjusts the window size using a custom
property, the shape will actually resize to those dimesions using the
mentioned ratio with a formula?
So basicly, I want to link a custom property with geometric properties of
the shape.
