#shapesheet

When you're developing your own smart shapes for Microsoft Visio, you'll often want to give the end user of your shape the ability to change some options. You may have a preset selection of colors, or you may want parts of the shape to appear and disappear when the user selects an option. In general, you'll want to make your shapes configurable to avoid adding many copies of your shape to a stencil with only small variations. In this short tutorial, I'll show how to use the shape sheet to add an option to a shape that enables a user to change its border thickness by selecting a thickness from a preset list of options.
