How-to: removing extraneous layer information from a shape master

(1/1)

Paul Herber:

* Load the stencil, put into edit mode, open the master
* Select the shape's contents (Control-A)
* menu Format -> Layer
* If you are now asked to enter a leyer name then the shape has a blank layer name! Enter a name (anything - it will be removed later) and press OK
* On the Layer dialog click None then OK
* menu View -> Layer Properties and tick Remove Unreferenced Layers, then click OK
* Close the shape, click OK to update the shape
* When done, close the stencil.

(These Instructions for Visio 2003/Visio 2007 - for Visio 2010 the menus are different)
