Sometime back I found what I call a measurement device. It told me how far it is between two shapes. It has been long enough back that I forgot where to find it. Could someone help me?? Thanks Rod -- Thanks for your Help

- 1. Converting Visio (2002) drawings to Autocad (R14)
I am having trouble exporting data from visio drawings to autocad. I open the visio drawing & 'Save As' an autocad drawing (DWG). But in the converted drawing the text is misaligned, the scaling is wrong & also some of the data is lost. I have tried looking for a tool that reproduces the data accurately in AutoCAD, but I haven't got a solution yet. I realize there is no direct way to accomplish this but is there a macro I could add to the visio drawing or change the layers/properties in AutoCAD for accurate conversion? Is there a solution at all? Any help would be appreciated. - 2. Actor: Top package
Hey... When i create an actor it display the text "top package" before the name i give it... How do i remove that??? Best regards Kent - 3. export visio file to sql database
I created a mockup of my database using visio 2003. I would now like to somehow connect this to a new database is SQL 2005. Is there a way to do that? - 4. In Visio, can you make a shape automatically display it's Name?
You could always edit the Master shape to display the name automatically, just use Insert Field / Object Info / Name "director_burch" < XXXX@XXXXX.COM > wrote in message news: XXXX@XXXXX.COM ... >I need to name all my shapes so that I can hyper-link them. It would be >great > if the shapes automatically displayed this name so I do not have to > re-type > it as text in the shape.

Thanks for an easy question I can answer to. Visio 2003. Menu, File, Shapes, Visio Extras, Drawing Tool Shapes. More elaborate answer : Of course you could have searched for the shape "measure". But you may encounter problems in this. Many beginners would search in the Visio Help system, and not in the Shapes window, Search for Shapes box. It would be great if I could give you unambiguous instructions like : menu, Tools, Search for Shapes. Secondly, when you have found the the shapes, you don't know in which stencil to find them. There is a little known, well hidden feature : menu, Tools, Options, Tab "Shape Search", Section "Results", check "By Group". This will give you the name of the stencil in the results pane. Even without the name of the folder the stencil is in, the stencil will be easy to find, as they are sorted alphabetically.

Here it is allready tonight, and at home I have Visio 2007. It does not make any difference between versions 2003 and 2007. Maybe some files have been deleted ?

i did the Diagmostics test and it repaired one problem for me. I also searched the Shapes and found a measureing device that will work for me but it is in "inches". Anyone know how to change it to "feet and inches"?? Thanks Rod -- Thanks for your Help

I don't know in which folder the stencil files reside. Normally there should be 31 shapes in the concerned stencil (metric). The imperial shapes are in another stencil. Your interest is in : - measure tool - horizontal measure - vertical measure This drawing tool stencil is too little known, as it is under "Advanced", and many people are frightened by that word. By the way, monday morning is service temporaril unavailable day at Microsoft.

1.Doing snypshots, saving and loading images without Vision
Hi! I am trying to display, save and load images for a few time now, but doing this without IMAQ Vision it seems to be very hard. I was told to download IMAQ 2.6 and look at the exaples, but there is only one example working well. When I open the others LabView doesn't find all components (e.g. IMAQ WindDraw.fi, IMAQ WindSize,...). In one example there is an image control, but somehow I can't find it in the controls. So I coul use intensity graph. This works. But then there is the problem of saving and loading images. I can use IMAQ WriteFile, but where is IMAQ ReadFile. I don't find it. I could do IMAQ ImageToArray and save the array, but where is IMAQ ArrayToImage to show the image again??? Lots of questions and I hope anyone out there can answer at least one of them. Oh: I am using LabView 6.1 and IMAQ PCI-1411 Thanks Starter Someone told me to use the functions from "Graphics and Sound" directory in the pallet, but I do not have this register :-(

5.What am I doing wrong here ?
Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me out with a bit of VBA in Visio.
It looks ok, but I'm getting a type mismatch error :(
(It's just a simple bit of code I'm using to figure out how to do something)
Public Sub callDummy()
Dim shp As Visio.Shape
Set shp = Visio.ActiveWindow.Selection.Item(1)
Dummy (shp) ' <-- Get Type Mismatch here on compile :(
End Sub
Public Sub Dummy(shp As Visio.Shape)
If (shp.Master Is Nothing) Then
MsgBox ("It's Nothing")
ElseIf (IsEmpty(shp.Master)) Then
MsgBox ("It's Empty")
ElseIf (IsNull(shp.Master)) Then
MsgBox ("It's Null")
Else
MsgBox ("Bingo!")
End If
End Sub
