Visio Helper Add-in: Updates – Fill Designer improvements, Copy/Paste Size, Snap Size, Snap Position, Duplicate Page, etc.

Quick summary

  • New updates available to the  VisioAutoExt library
  • Gradient Helper renamed to Fill Designer
  • Fill Designer is a now a non-modal anchor window
  • Can copy the size of one shape and paste that size into another shape
  • Can snap shape sized (hard-coded to 0.25 inches)
  • Can snap the position (lower left corner) of a shape to the nearest 0.25 coordinate
  • Close all documents without saving
  • Duplicate a page
  • Still no setup available – use VS2008 to build and run the add-in

Suggestions?

  • Have something that you often do in Visio? let me know and I’ll see if it makes sense to incorporate as part of this add-in

How about set document default font - as we know this can otherwise only be accomplished by a template in Visio 2007.

Any chance of supplying a pre-built/installable version of the add in?  Your current distribution limits the addin's "target market" to VS2008 Professional users only.  I suspect a lot more people would use this if you removed this restriction.

Thanks,

Matt

Could you please create a setup file to install the addin so people whom do not have VS can use your most helpful addin.

Thanks!
