Title: Copyright your own shapes
Post by: healthNut on August 17, 2012, 04:58:03 AM
Where is the shape copyright feature?
I seen 2 sources that refer to functions in Visio to copyright shapes but haven't been able to find them in version 2010.

1) "To copyright a shape (or see if an existing shape has a copyright)
Right-click the shape, point to Format, and then click Special."

2) copyright cell

To see the CopyRight on a shape in Visio 2010, click menu Developer / Shape Name.
You need to activate Developer Ribbon with menu Files / Option / Run in Developer Mode.
(I am sorry if the names of menus are not correct as my Visio is not English version.)
