Last year Rob Wakeling (no longer at MS?) sent along instructions from a
visio developer Ben (?) on installing a macro (property line) from Visio 10
in Visio 2003 (which shipped without it). (see his instructions to me at
bottom of this message.)
Well property line (which allows you to plot the survey bearings of a piece
of land) has been working great on my desktop under visio 2003.
But I tried to install on another computer. My laptop also running XP.
Followed same instructions exactly. Property line appears on the Add-on
menu list.
But when I click nothing happens. Then no other macro works either. So I
have to close & restart Visio.
The only other thing it might be is that my desktop still has Visio 2002
installed. I don't use it anymore, but maybe its connected?
ANy ideas on how I can fix??

Barry,
The italics below is from one of the devs in my group. Try the following.
You may need to lower your security setting each time you run the boundary
utility but I am guessing this is an infrequent use. It was cut because it
was not an internationally relevant tool and was written in VB which can not
be easily localized. (no ability to isolate resource strings etc.) btw he
was excited to hear the walls work better. He did some of the work.

Rob -
I was able to run the Visio 2000 (Technical) Property Line addon in Visio
2003 by doing the steps below. Functionality seems to work but I did not
test extensively. Let me know if you have other questions.
Cheers,
Ben
