How to turn borders of visio objects on/off

I have a drawing (visio file) who's content is several "imsert /object/from
file" objects which are themselves visio drawings. All of the drawings have
borders that are on a layer and I am trying to turn off the inserted object
file borders when the master drawing is opened. I thought I could do this by
simply turning visibility of this layer name (border) off in the master
drawing, but it seems to have no effect on the inserted objects' layer of the
same name (border). My next thought was to have an "upon open" of the master
drawing VBA macro sequentially open all the inserted object files (they are
linked) and turn off eachs' "Border" layer, then close & return to the master
drawing. My macro recording of this provided little info (code) to go on. Is
this even possible? Is there a better way?

I could not understand what you really wish, but to inhibit rotation you
could protect with menu or LockRotate cell.

I'm not sure how rotation entered the topic, but to simplify my request:

I am trying to set the property of the layer named "border" to "not visible"
on multiple vision drawing files (each file has this same layer name) which
are each inserted objects in a "master" Visio drawing file. I would like to
be able to control the visibility of these inserted object files' layers with
only the "master" Visio drawing file open.

Does this help?

Now, i see, may be a half.
It seems to me the layer property does not act as expected
on editting window of the stencil.
You might be better to look for another way.
