Next Problem:
VSSX and VSTX files are not registered.
The same as VSS and VST are.

Maybe you need to name your files <name>_m.vssx and <name>_u.vssx (I belive that's a new feature of Visio 2013 and above, regarding metric and imperial measurement system)

Here on this forum there was a topic related to this "feature", forgive me my French :)

You're right, template had to be renamed to <name>_m.vssx
Stencil name was correct already. I think the problem there was a naming conflict with another stencil, visible via Options -> Advanced -> File Locations -> stencil path.
Now it works, thanks.

We struggled with this, when the first colleagues updated to Visio 2013  >:(
This was one (and not the only) reason why we stayed with Visio 2010 for many years.

Had to google what you mean with "forgive me my French" ;D
