Visio Stencils Dynamic Drawing Templates CommScope has developed an easy-to-use method to create detailed Visio drawings, using a dynamic drawing template. The CommScope drawing template offers many advantages:. All CommScope stencils are preloaded for immediate use. Software is built-in to alert the user to any new or missing shapes and stencils.
An automatic BOM report that is exportable to Excel. Drawing scale is pre-set to insure compatibility with shapes from other manufacturers. Drawing layer is pre-set to allow visibility of doors or bezels to be toggled on and off. Title block data is semi-automatically filled in. Shapes may be searched for with a partial Product Code (e.g. 360G2-1U.) Shapes snap into place in an intelligent manner (e.g.
Panels snap to a discrete rack “U” increment) and many shapes are now re-configurable, making changes quick and easy. For instance, an information outlet is a single shape in a stencil (e.g. MGS-500-XXX) but with a simple right mouse button click, it may be changed to any one of the 13 colors that are offered. Changing the color displayed on the drawing will also change the respective data in the BOM automatically. Get Started Please read through the before proceeding.
After downloading the stencils, please review the included instructions to get the most out of your Visio experience.
Microsoft Visio 2007 Professional and 2010 Professional and Premium includes the Network / Rack Diagram template, which opens the Rack-mounted equipment stencil. This stencil includes the Patch Panel master which can be stretched from 2U to 25U high. However, I have often required a 1U patch Panel, so I decided to look into the Microsoft shape to see if it could be modified to allow it to be reduced to 1U without looking ridiculous.
I opened up the ShapeSheet of the Patch Panel master and found that the formula in the Prop.UCount.Value cell is imposing 2 as a minimum value with the BOUND function. I changed the formula to =BOUND(2,0,FALSE,1,25), and was then able to change the UHeight to 1U, but the 24 ports remained visible: I actually wanted the number of ports to be halved to 12, so I set about exploring the sub-shapes in the master. I found that Sheet.18 contains the port shapes, and that its height is fixed at 2 Us.
All of its sub-shapes have a height formula referencing this height, so I decided to modify the PinY formula to =Sheet.5!Height.0.5.(IF(Sheet.5!Prop.UCount=1,2,1)) so that it would move the lower bank of ports up into the correct position if the Prop.UCount equals 1. Then it was just necessary to go through each of the sub-shapes of Sheet.18 to modify the Geometry X.NoShow formula to =Sheet.5!Prop.UCount=1 for each Geometry section which is in the upper half of the shape. At this point, I could see that I had to put this formula into 12 geometry sections of 4 shapes, which is 48 copy and pastes! Therefore, I decided to write some VBA code to do this instead. This has the advantage that you can run the code on existing documents that already have the Patch panel master in it. In fact, the Patch panel master must be in the local document stencil for this code to work.
