- ; INSTRUCTIONS (Be sure to scroll to right, if necessary)
- ; Visio can use the information you put into this text file to draw a flowchart.
- ; The text file must contain information about:
- ; - which template you want to use
- ; - which master shapes you want to use
- ; - how many instances of each master shape you want to include in the drawing
- ; - which shapes you want to connect.
- ; If you want to add custom properties to the master shapes, the text file
- ; must also include custom property information.
- ;
- ; After you create and save the text file, run the Flowchart-TQM Diagram Wizard
- ; again. When the wizard asks which text file you want to use, choose the one you created.
- ; When Visio prompts you for Field Separator, choose comma (,).
- ;
- ; TO CHOOSE A TEMPLATE
- ; --------------------
- ; Add this line to the text file:
- ; Template,"Template Name"
- ; where anything in quotes denotes the actual value.
- ;
- ; For example,
- ; Template,"Flowchart - Basic.VST"
- ;
- ; TO CHOOSE MASTER SHAPES
- ; -----------------------
- ;
- ; Add a line like this for each master shape you want to use:
- ; Master,"Master Name","Stencil Name"
- ; where anything in quotes denotes the actual value.
- ;
- ; For example,
- ; Master,"Process","Basic Flowchart Shapes.VSS"
- ;
- ; TO ADD CUSTOM PROPERTIES TO MASTER SHAPES
- ; -----------------------------------------
- ; Add a line like this for each custom property you want to add to each master:
- ; Property,"Master Name","Property Name","Label","Prompt","Type","Format","Value","Hidden","Ask"
- ; where anything in quotes denotes the actual value.
- ; Note: Only the first 3 values are required in a Property line.
- ; For more information about custom properties, in Visio, press F1, click Index,
- ; then type "custom properties."
- ;
- ; For example,
- ; Property,"Process","Cost","Cost of Process","Enter cost in US dollars",,,,,
- ;
- ; TO PLACE SHAPES ON THE DRAWING PAGE
- ; -----------------------------------
- ; Add a line like this for each shape you want to place on the drawing page:
- ; Shape,"Shape Name","Master Name","Shape Text","ShapeX","ShapeY","Width","Height","Cost","Duration","Resources"
- ; where anything in quotes denotes the actual value.
- ;
- ; For example,
- ; Shape,"MyShape1","Process","This is my shape's text",,,,,"1.05","4 hours","Some resources"
- ; Visio determines ShapeX, ShapeY, Width, and Height (the position and size of the shape)
- ; when you leave them blank.
- ;
- ; TO CONNECT SHAPES
- ; -----------------
- ; Add a line like this for every two shapes you want to connect:
- ; Link,"Link Name","Master Name","Link Text","From Shape (or Connector) Name","ToShape(or Connector) Name"
- ; where anything in quotes denotes the actual value.
- ;
- ; For example,
- ; Link,"MyLink1","Line Connector","some text","MyShape1","MyShape2"
- ;
