I am using Visio 2007 and am struggling with creating a new shape using an existing shape.
I create my new master and pull the existing shape into the drawing window. This by the way is one of Visio's included standard server shapes (not rackmount).
I ungroup it, recolor the pieces, add a new piece and then regroup. I don't get any errors during creation or udpdate. The problem comes in after the stencil is saved.
Once it is saved, I then go back to edit it and open the shape sheet. I edit the text control, text transform and user fields to make the text box open on double-click below the image. I set the shape behavior to edit the text on double click. I update the shape and then save the stencil. There are 2 issues.
When I add the image to a diagram and double click it, it behaves as if the individual elements are not grouped and 'select's' the element where I double-clicked. It allows me to move individual pieces of the shape as if I were editing it.
I even did a screen shot of the shape sheet for the original shape that I am editing and made sure the text control sections and other relevant sections were set identically.
The second problem is that when I update the shape sheet and update the master shape and save it, the next time I look at the shape sheet, my changes have disappeared.
HELP!!!!!!!
