Finding more shapes...

[David]

I need more shapes: calculators, postage machines, different types of copying machines. Anyone know where I can find stencils with more shapes? Even better - any way I can draw my own??

There are a few generic shapes in Visio - on the Office Equipment stencil.
If you have Visio 2002 or 2003, you can also use the Search tools to look
for more shapes on the Visio downloads site :

In 2002, choose FILE then FIND SHAPE from the menu
In 2003, use the Shapes search section in the stencil window

Any shapes that you will find here will be pretty generic. You can find
many shapes on the internet by searching for 'Visio shapes' on any internet
search engine, and you will find many free and inexpensive Stencil packs of
various descriptions.

If you seriously want to develop your own library of shapes, and you are
using Visio 2003, then download the Visio 2003 SDK and load the Shape Studio
(requires SQL Server).
