Modular/Interlocking Stencils

[Nick Mc]

I was wondering if there was a way to create modular stencils in Visio.

So, I have multiple wall plate stencils (2-gang, 3-gang, for outlets,
switchs) and I have outlet and switch stencils. I want to create the
stencils such that I can drop a 2-gang wall plate, and drop a switch or
outlet into each one of the openings. I would be nice if these then "locked"
into the stencil/group.

Thanks.

Yeah, I've been searching the nexans site for the better part of an hour, and
can't figure out how to actually download the thing. Every time i get
somewhere promising, it says i have to log in. So i log in, go back to where
I was, and it says i still have to log in.

Well, I'm based in America, and they apparently don't want Americans using
it. So I registered in the german site and got it. Thanks for the help.
