Hi,

I have a lot of stencils which contains a lot of Masters.  I make changes of the Masters frequently (visual updates or shape sheet data). I figured out that if I update a master and then open a Visio drawing and place the newly updated master on the drawing it then takes the master shape in the document stencil (which is not updated) and put it on the drawing. This is causing alot of problem because we have an add-in running that might affect the changed master.

My question is is it better to only have visual in the master and create the shape sheet data we need programmatically (which might take a longer time on ShapeAdded event).

Everytime i get a ticket with problem with shapes i answer them delete document stencils and then redrop your master, but I would like to stop using that answer and maybe change all the shapes we have to create them programmatically when they are drop (Create their shapesheet respectively) and this can be complicated with multiple shapes in the master.

Thanks
