How to create a master shape syncronized with all the shapes on a sheet

[lucippo]

Hi,
Usually I create a master shape and then use it many times on a sheet. When I update the master shape I would have an automatic update of all the shapes referring to the master shape I've already created and updated. Is it possible to do that?

Thanks,
Luca

The answer is 'kinda'. Before a master shape is put into a drawing it is first copied to the document stencil, and that is copied to the drawing. Assuming nothing has stopped the link between the document stencil image of the master and the shapes, if you alter the master in the document stencil the instantiated shapes should also change. NOTE this is document specific (other documents that may use the same master are not changed).

I tried but it doesn't work...maybe there is something that stops the link between the master shape in the stencil and the shape on the draw.
Any other suggestion?

are you looking at the document stencil (file menu)? If the link is broken then you would have to write custom code.

Wow, now it works!....I was not looking at document stencil!!!

Thank you so much, Al.
