However, the on cost of multiple sub-shapes is to slow down Visio because it needs to evaluate the graphic display, and each grouping level needs to be evaluated from the innermost level. I will leave a discussion about efficient shape design for now, but I suspect that there could be only three sub-shapes because there are only three colours being used. In this example shape, there are a lot of sub-shapes. Preventing accidental sub-shape selection Protecting from themes Open the Developer / Protection dialog This will attempt to prevent Visio from automatically creating a second master after edits have been done, and a Master with the same name is dragged from another stencil into the document. Prepare the Master for editing by ticking the Match master by name on drop option. Basically, they end up as a blob of solid colour, so I thought I would help out with a tip about protecting shapes from themes, and another about sub-shape selection. I could not help noticing a comment about using them with themes in Visio 2013+. It is amazing that PaulB_NZ has produced such a comprehensive stencil.


One such stencil is the Skype for Business 2015 stencil that is available from TechNet ( ). These are a tremendous resource for other Visio users, especially if they are free. There is a vast community of Visio users out there, and some clever people produce stencils for others to use.
