Why is line pattern not working?

[kw_uh97]

Hello everyone

I am using Visio 2002 Professional SR2. I reversed engineered a database
into a ER Diagram. I enabled the crows feet for my ER diagram under
Database--Options--Document and under the Relationship tab I checked the
crow's feet checkbox.

I like the results but I would like to change the line patterns of my
relationships to "solid", right now it is set at dashed line. I can get a
solid line pattern but with an arrowhead and I will lose my crows feet. I can
change the line weight, color, etc, but it will not allow me to change the
line pattern. Is this a bug or am I missing the concept on crow's feet all
together? Maybe I can do something programmatically that could change the
line pattern? If anyone can provide a solution, some code or an explanation
to my issue I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks In advance,
kw

Line patter is protected by guarded function in the LinePattern cell.
You might modify the function after you delete the master in your drawing
stencil not in the stencil.

Thanks for the quick response. Sorry but you are way ahead of me on this one
. Protected by a gaurded function, delete the master and cells <:/ ? I
apologize but I guess it safe to say that I dont know much about Visio to
grasp what you are talking about. Can you start with an explanation on the
concept of cells, master etc..

Thanks In Advance for your assistance.

Thanks JuneTheSecond. That link was very helpful and will be helpful in the
future. By the way I was able to solve my problem by editing the shapesheet
cells of the connector master. If that makes any sense to you.

Thanks Again
