Ilya #1 / 7	How to create a template with custom properties Hello, I was wondering if enyone can tell me or point to some document that describes how to create new Visio templates with custom properties that can modify the way the template is represeted on the drawing. I was trying to extend the Flip-Flop object in "Analog and Digital Logic" set to add additional flip-flop types. However, I didn't want to create separate templates for each flip-flop. I just wanted to have one with the selectable properties. Thanks a lot for the help, Ilya.

Ilya #3 / 7	How to create a template with custom properties Hi John, thanks a lot for the reply. However, I don't really wont to modify any stencil. I just want to create a new element to my own stencil. But, I want this element to have a set of custom properties that will allow a user to change the way this element looks on the diagram. (it is sort of the way the Flip- Flop is implemented - there is a pull-down menu that you can specify the type of flip-flop, and then the actual image changes acoording to the selection. I just want to create this sort of menu.) Thanks for help, Ilya. Quote: >-----Original Message----- >Make a copy of the *.vss file you want to change and modify the shapes (or Quote: >add new ones).

Ilya #5 / 7	How to create a template with custom properties Hi John, thanks for the help. Just one last question about that flip-flop model: The model currently supports a sertain number of flip-flop types. When a user selects a particular type, the letters on the model change (say J and K for JK-flip flop to S and R for SR-flip flop). What should I do if I want to add more types of flip-flops to the list and make the list fully function - i.e. the letters in the model change according to the selected new type? Can this e done, or I would have to create a new model for each separate flip-flop? Thanks, Ilya.

Ilya #7 / 7	How to create a template with custom properties Oh, there are some more types (like T, or negative logic ones). But that is not the point. This Flip-FLop model is just an example. Currently when the user selects different type of FF, the model chamges (it changes the letters). I just wanted to add some more types and make the model change accordingly. Ilya.
