Shapesheet formula limits

[John Nurick]

Hello all,

Visio 2003 SP2. I'm trying to build a custom shape and getting 'error in
formula' errors from a Polyline cell. I can't see anything wrong with the
formula but it's quite long (about 60 vertices, each referring to other cells
in the shapesheet, e.g.
...Scratch.X3+User.A,Scratch.Y3+User.B,...
for a total of about 2760 characters) so I'm wondering if I've hit a limit
on the number of arguments to POLYLINE(), the number of characters in a
formula, or some such.

I've tried searching Help for terms like "Specifications" but can't find
anything. Wd be grateful for a pointer.

I don't think there are any hard and fast limitations in the ShapeSheet. If
you don't mind sharing the formula, the type of shape, and the
section/row/column in the ShapeSheet you're trying to get that to work in I
could look into it.
