VISIO.INI Sections and Settings ==================================== Copyright (c) 1996 Visio Corporation. All rights reserved. About VISIO.INI =============== Visio uses a private INI file to store user settings and other application information. To keep the INI file small and less confusing, Visio automatically writes out only those settings that are not default and a few others that are useful (for example, file paths, import and export filters, and last files). To include all possible settings in the file: 1. Make sure there are no instances of Visio running. 2. Open VISIO.INI in a text editor. 3. In the [application] section, add the entry IniShowAll=1. 4. Save and close VISIO.INI. 5. Run Visio. 6. Quit Visio. 7. Open VISIO.INI again. Note: Editing the file while an instance of Visio is running has no effect. Always exit Visio before editing the VISIO.INI file. Visio does not require that the VISIO.INI file exists in order to run. If you delete the file, a new one is created the next time you run Visio. To restore Visio's default settings, simply delete the VISIO.INI file. About VISINI.TXT ================ This file describes VISIO.INI entries that you may find useful. Sections are presented in the order they appear in VISIO.INI. Entries in each section are presented in alphabetical order, for easier reading. Entries typically do not appear in alphabetical order in VISIO.INI. Some entries in VISIO.INI are reserved for internal or future use. These entries are not documented in VISINI.TXT. [application] section ===================== The [application] section includes settings that are application-wide in scope. AddonsPath=Solutions -------------------- The location of Visio add-on executables (programs written in Visual Basic or another programming language that supports Automation) and Visio add-on libraries. Can be relative to the location of VISIO.EXE or fully qualified. AlreadyRanQuickTour=0 --------------------- Non-zero if the user has already responded to the Quick Tour dialog box, zero if the user has not seen the Quick Tour dialog box. Usually zero after Visio installation or deletion of the VISIO.INI file. AltFilterINIFile=VISIO.INI -------------------------- If INIFileForFilters=2, use this setting to specify the .INI filename. AltFilterINIFileExportSect=Exports ---------------------------------- If INIFileForFilters=2, use this setting to specify the name of the Export section in the .INI file set by AltFilterINIFile. AltFilterINIFileImportSect=Imports ---------------------------------- If INIFileForFilters=2, use this setting to specify the name of the Import section in the .INI file set by AltFilterINIFile. Animation=60000 --------------- The time in milliseconds between evaluations of the NOW() function in ShapeSheet formulas. The default is one minute. To evaluate NOW() more frequently, set Animation to a smaller value, such as 125. AutoStartIME=0 -------------- Determines whether to enable the Input Method Editor (IME) when the user starts Visio. The IME assists the user in entering characters from multi-byte character sets, typically used on Far East systems. 0 Do not automatically enable the IME. 1 Automatically enable the IME. BiDiMode=0xFFFF --------------- When Visio displays a line of text, it calculates the position of characters in the line multiple times to achieve optimal spacing between the characters. This ensures that text on the screen exactly matches the text when printed. If the text mixes characters from languages that run in different directions-- for example, English (left to right) and Arabic or Hebrew (right to left), attempting to achieve optimal spacing may cause reversed or missing characters. Use the BiDiMode setting to control Visio behavior when displaying bidirectional text. 0 Make multiple calculations to achieve optimal character spacing. Recommended for single-language text. 1 Make a single run, regardless of system settings. 0xFFFF Use Windows international system settings. Recommended for mixed-language, bidirectional text. BlastFlag=1 ----------- Determines the default behavior with respect to local formulas when styles are applied from the toolbar. Zero Keep local formulas. Non-zero Reset local formulas. BuiltDirectoryCache=0 --------------------- Non-zero indicates that the Visio directory cache has been built and saved in VISIO.BIN. Set this value to 0 if you want to force Visio to rebuild this cache. CubicTolerance=5 ---------------- How closely Visio follows the mouse pointer when drawing a freeform curve, or spline: the lower the number, the more closely Visio follows the pointer. The CubicTolerance setting corresponds to the Smoothing option in the FreeForm Drawing section in the Options dialog box. CustomCommonDialog=1 -------------------- Determines which dialog boxes Visio uses. Zero Use the Windows default dialog box templates. Non-zero Use the Visio custom templates for the common dialog boxes (File Open, File Save, Save As, and so forth). CustomMenusFile = ------------------ The name and path of a file that contains custom menus and accelerators to use for all instances of Visio. CustomToolbarsFile = --------------------- The name and path of a file that contains custom toolbars and status bars to use for all instances of Visio. Default3LegConnectorFile = ------------------------ The name of an alternate file that contains a 3-legged connector. Default3LegConnectorName = ------------------------ The name of the master shape in the file specified in Default3LegConnectorFile. Default5LegConnectorFile = ------------------------ The name of an alternate file that contains a 5-legged connector. Default5LegConnectorName = ------------------------ The name of the master shape in the file specified in Default5LegConnectorFile. DefaultCurrencyFmt=0 -------------------------- DefaultCurrencyFmt determines how Visio formats currency when it is displayed as a string. The default setting, zero, uses the formatting specified in the user's international system settings. Non-local currency is displayed using the local currency settings for thousands and decimal separators and positive/negative format, but uses the ISO 4217 three-character currency mnemonic for the currency symbol, displayed after the value separated by a space. DefaultCurrencyFmt is a mask that allows you to control several related formatting options. You simply add together the options you want to set. DefaultCurrencyFmt affects formatting of all currency within the application. The mask is easiest to understand in its hexadecimal format, because most values are powers of 2. Both the hex and decimal values are listed below. To control the displayed currency symbol, chose one of the following: 0x0000 or 0 Local currency uses the symbol defined by the international settings. Non-local currency uses its ISO 4217 three-character mnemonic. 0x0200 or 512 Both local and non-local currency use their local symbol. 0x0400 or 1024 Both local and non-local currency use ISO 4217 three-character. To control the display format of positive and negative currency values, chose one of the following: 0x0000 or 0 Use the user's international settings. 0x0100 or 256 Use the explicit settings defined below. Explicit negative formats: 0x0000 or 0 ($1.1) 0x0001 or 1 -$1.1 0x0002 or 2 $-1.1 0x0003 or 3 $1.1- 0x0004 or 4 (1.1$) 0x0005 or 5 -1.1$ 0x0006 or 6 1.1-$ 0x0007 or 7 1.1$- 0x0008 or 8 -1.1 $ 0x0009 or 9 -$ 1.1 0x000A or 10 1.1 $- 0x000B or 11 $ 1.1- 0x000C or 12 $ -1.1 0x000D or 13 1.1- $ 0x000E or 14 ($ 1.1) 0x000F or 16 (1.1 $) Explicit positive formats: 0x0000 or 0 $1.1 0x0010 or 16 1.1$ 0x0020 or 32 $ 1.1 0x0030 or 48 1.1 $ DefaultFontCharset=0xFFFF ------------------------- The character set of the default font as defined in the Windows logical font structure for that font.

DefaultFontFamily=0xFFFF ---------------------- The font family to which the default font belongs, as defined in the Windows logical font structure for that font. DefaultFontName = --------------------- The name of the font to use as the default. If you format text in the default font, Visio automatically uses whatever font is defined as the default on the user's system. This method allows a more flexible mapping of fonts. The default font is displayed at the top of the font list in angle brackets (< >) if ShowDefaultFont is non-zero. The default font also has the value 0 in the Font cell of the Characters section of the ShapeSheet. Developer=0 ----------- Non-zero enables certain developer Visio UI functionality. Dialog3D=1 ---------- Zero Show dialog boxes with flat, two-dimensional effect. Non-zero Show dialog boxes with three-dimensional effect. DragBitmap=1 ------------ Determines whether Visio creates a bitmap representation of a dragged shape or master while waiting to drop the shape or master. Zero Do not create a bitmap representation. 1 Create a bitmap representation after the duration specified by the MousePauseTime setting. 2 Create a bitmap representation immediately. DrawingsPath=Drawings --------------------- The default path for saving Visio drawings. Can be relative to the location of VISIO.EXE or fully qualified. Multiple paths are separated by a semicolon.

FiltersPath32=System\Filter32 ----------------------------- The location of import and export filters. Can be relative to the location of VISIO.EXE or fully qualified. The import and export filters must match the .DLL file specified by the corresponding FilterLibrary setting. FontSizeDialogLabel=0xFFFF ---------------------- The point size of text in dialog box labels. "0xFFFF" tells Visio to use the current system defaults. FontSizeMasterIconAndName=0xFFFF --------------------------- The point size of text used in the stencil window when both icons and names are displayed. "0xFFFF" tells Visio to use the current system defaults. FontSizeMasterNameOnly=0xFFFF ------------------------ The point size of text used in the stencil window when only master names are displayed. "0xFFFF" tells Visio to use the current system defaults. FontSizePIPCaption=0xFFFF --------------------- The point size of text in the floating stencil window when Visio is activated for in-place editing.

GengoData1=yyyy/mm/dd,english_short,kanji_short,kanji_long GengoData2=yyyy/mm/dd,english_short,kanji_short,kanji_long ---------------------------------------------------------- The Japanese version of Visio has built-in date information for the Emperors Meiji, Taishou, Shouwa, and Heisei. If new emperor(s) come to power between releases of Visio, the user can customize gengo date information by setting these entries. If both GengoData1 and GengoData2 are set, GengoData2 should be later chronologically. Dates are formatted at run time, so these entries should be updated in all VISIO.INI files on all systems, or the date may be formatted differently on different systems. yyyy/mm/dd The first date of the new emperor's reign. english_short The English abbreviation of the emperor's name (used by the "g" date format). kanji_short The Kanji short name of the emperor (used by the "gg" and "G" formats). kanji_long The Kanji long name of the emperor (used by the "ggg" and "GG" formats).

HideVerticalFonts=0 ------------------- Zero to display vertically-oriented fonts in the Visio font list, or non- zero to hide vertically-oriented fonts. Although Visio does not provide true vertical text composition, you can get the effect of vertical text by using a vertical font and resizing the text box to force a single- character column. A vertical font is designated with a @ as the first character of its name. Vertical fonts are typically used on Far East systems. IconsAndNamesGridHeight=60 IconsAndNamesGridWidth=50 -------------------------- The height and width of the stencil grid used to arrange icons in the stencil window when icons and names are displayed. IconsOnlyGridHeight=36 IconsOnlyGridWidth=36 ---------------------- The height and width of the stencil grid used to arrange icons in the stencil window when only icons are displayed. IMEDefaultFontCharset=0xFFFF ---------------------------- The character set of the default font to be used by the Input Method Editor (IME), as defined in the Windows logical font structure for that font. The Visio default for Japanese is the ShiftJIS character set.

IMEDefaultFontFamily=0xFFFF --------------------------- The font family to which the default IME font belongs, as defined in the Windows logical font structure for that font. 0xFFFF causes Visio to use Windows international system settings. IMEDefaultFontName=??? ---------------------- The name of the font to use as the default in the IME. If you format text in the default font, Visio automatically uses whatever font is defined as the default on the user's system, which allows a more flexible mapping of fonts. The string "???" causes Visio to use Windows international system settings. INIFileForFilters=0 ------------------- Indicates where to look for information about import and export filters. Zero Use the [VisioImports] and [VisioExports] sections of VISIO.INI. 1 Use the [MS Graphic Import Filters] and [MS Graphic Export Filters] sections of WIN.INI. 2 Use the [AltFilterINIFileImportSect] and [AltFilterINIFileExportSect] sections of the file specified by AltFilterINIFile. IniShowAll=1 ------------ To keep the INI file small and less confusing, Visio automatically writes out only those settings that are not default and a few others that are useful (for example, file paths, import and export filters, and last files). Use this setting to include all possible settings in the file. For details, see "About VISIO.INI" at the beginning of this file. InPlaceWidth=5.5 in. InPlaceHeight=3.0 in. --------------------- The default width and height of the Visio embedded object when it is edited in-place. IsMultiByteAware=0 ------------------ Non-zero to handle multi-byte character sets, typically used on Far East systems. Setting IsMultiByteAware to a non-zero value may cause Visio to run more slowly, but it will run more reliably when using a multi-byte character set. LastFile1= LastFile2= LastFile3= LastFile4= LastFile5= LastFile6= LastFile7= LastFile8= LastFile9= --------------------- The last nine files used in Visio.

Set LinesAndTextPrintBlack to a value other than zero to ensure that lines and text print in black. LineTolerance=5 --------------- How far the mouse pointer can deviate from a straight line before Visio starts drawing a freeform curve, or spline: the higher the number, the farther the mouse pointer can deviate. The LineTolerance setting corresponds to the Precision option in the FreeForm Drawing section in the Options dialog box. LoopLimit = 40 -------------- The maximum number of times Visio processes a dependency loop in a ShapeSheet formula before stopping recalculation. For best results, set LoopLimit to a value greater than 10, because some complicated shapes may legitimately loop several times during recalculation. MacroVirusProtection=0 ------------------ Different options for virus checking. 0 = Don't check for viruses when the user opens files and always enable macros. 1 = Always ask the user what to do. 2 = Always disable macros. 3 = Always refuse to open file with macros.
