New Shapes?

[Wild Packet]

Any word on when MS will release new Shapes for Visio? If MS will not
venture into this avenue, can anyone recommend a few good resources for the
best shapes on the Net? I am interested in the highest quality stuff out
there.

Thanks in advance.

There will be some new shapes with Visio 2007, but there are a number of
sources on the web for shapes. I have tried to create a catalogue of what I
have found at http://visio.mvps.org/3rdparty.htm.

So what sort of shapes are you looking for?

John,

Is it possible to put the new shapes on a Visio 2007 drawing and then save
it as a Visio 2003 drawing to use those shapes on another computer with
2003? I haven't installed the 2007 version yet so I don't know what's
available.

The basic Visio file format is the same in Visio 2007 as in Visio 2003. You
can save the new shapes in Visio 2007 and use them in Visio 2003.

Cool - looks like I need to install it at least to look at the new shapes.

Please let us know what you think after new install. I installed the new
trial version and did not find anything significantly new in the shapes
except if I remember correctly a few in the finance area...but little else.

If you find new tuff, please let us know...maybe I'm just blind?

There are some new shapes for Value Stream diagrams.

Also, I believe that the Workflow shapes are more 3D now, and work much with
the new Themeing in Visio 2007. These are the shapes with the little "Walk
Light" people driving forklifts and handling documents, etc.

I'll bet if I knew what Value Stream was, I'd be impressed. ;-)

Forklifts I know. I avoid being run over by them at work.
