Visio 2007 Stencil and Template

[Gilligan]

I have created my own stencil file with two shapes. I wanted to add data
properties to these shapes so everytime a new shap is created it has those
properites. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Just add the properties to the shape which you see when you click
Edit/Master Shape on the master in the stencil.

I did get the properties to stay by draging the shape back into the stencil
and letting it create another shape. Is there a way to change the image
being displayed by a property?

Thanks,

There are many ways. What would you like to do?

Possible choices:
- The visibility of a a sub shape can be controlled by a custom property.
- Same with the colour, fill colour, fill patter, line pattern.
- H /W can change based on a custom property.
