Servers Shape

[Naru]

I am trying to use the server shapes in my drawing. I am trying to make the
custom properties to show next to the shape. But i am not able to do that. I
am using Web Server shape and in the custom properties, I have specified info
like CPU, Memory etc. and I want that info to show up next to the shape. But
they are not showing up. Please help.

Hi Naru,

Try this:

1. Select your shape
2. Hit F2 to get into "text edit mode"
3. Choose Insert > Field from the menu
4. Select "Custom Properties"
5. Select a custom property and click OK

The property should show in the list. You can enter multiple custom fields.

Or alternatively, you could do this:

4. Select "Custom Formula"
5. Enter:
Prop.A & CHAR(10) & Prop.B & CHAR(10) & Prop.C
in the custom formula field at the bottom of the dialog.

This will add several custom properties, with carriage-returns as a single
field.
