Find stencil and symbol name by symbol in diagram

 
  • Hello experts!

    I probably have a very simple question, but anyway still can't find an answer.
    Is there any way to find a stencil and symbol's name in stencil by symbol in diagram? I have a diagrams with some funky symbols and I can't find where it came from. When I select symbols - there is no stencil's info in attributes or shape data.

    Best regards,
    Alex
  • Hi
    It is not possible to find Visio Shape Names as an attribute by default.
    you have two way for finding Visio Shape Names:
    1- Copy Visio shape name in a UDA during symbol definition at the beginning of the project. (As default value in stage 4 of "Import Shape" Process)
    2- If you are familiar coding C#, You can develop a code to extract Master Shape Names from Visio Files. You may want to report symbol names in a Pseudo Attribute.
