I think the Custom Property Sets option is what you are looking for. This is an add-on that comes with Visio 2002 that enables you to create "sets" of custom properties that you can apply to selected shapes on the drawing page, or to all shapes in a stencil. You can find the add-on...

I really need to know more about your setup. Are you using some automation to code to automatically generate a diagram based on an Access database? If so, where are the original shapes? I would like to clarify some terms so that we are speaking the same language. The stencil is the green...

I'm not sure if the routers that you are placing on the page are generic router shapes, or if each router is unique. If they are generic, then there is probably just one master shape that is getting copied multiple times to the drawing page. In that case, you can just edit the master shape in...

The installer for Visio 2000 is miserable, and is laden with faults. Call tech support because they have many workarounds for the problems. Or, you can now buy Visio 2002, which is much improved and has a seamless install. Adam Lofstedt www.visimation.com Visio training and custom development
