Hi There

I would like to reference a cell from a shape within a stencil with a shape that has been dropped on a page. Let's say the stencil is called 'Stencil1.vss' and there are 2 shapes within that stencil. The first shape is called 'Shape1' and the other 'Shape2'. When Shape1 is dropped on the page it references a cell within Shape2 that is in the stencil. I thought 'Stencil1.vss:Stencil:Shape2.Prop.Row_1' may have worked but it doesn't.

Thank you
David

meks

why dont u use an invisible shape in your drawing in which you can refer all the dropped shapes...instead of refering to a stencil...maybe u can put in in the background page or the same page then refer to it...just set it's size(as small as a dot) or transparency to 100%

just a work around  :D

I think you can't reference shapes in other documents. And a stencil is another document.
Therefore I would go with meks workarround.
