Hello,

I am a newbie and am using VISIO 2010, to develop Process flow diagram. So basically I edited the master Symbol for Pipeline and added a Label inside a Stencil . However when I drag the Symbol onto the sheet , the TextBox gets replaced by the autonumbering. How can I disable this autonumbering ??

Q2). Is it possible to edit a master shape and add the data fields in the text box, such that whenever a Symbol is dragged , the data fields in the text box gets updated automatically.

Thanking you in advance.

Q1. Probably you base your new shape on some built-in shape, that has specific functionality (auto-numbering). To disable, don't base your shape on the built-in shape that has that functionality. Create one from scratch. If you want to keep the built-in functionality, then more details are required.

Q2. To specify the default property values, open the master for editing and just fill in these values.
