Is there a way to make the page name of a Visio file depend on the parameter value of a element?
This would be helpfull in order to generalize visio drawings.

Hi Adrian, the only way I can think of is to use embedded VDX pages.

You can accomplish this by:

  1. making a tab page with just one rectangle shape on it.
  2. Add VdxPage shape data on the rectangle with value '*page name of the other tab page'
  3. Add Dock shape data on the rectangle with value 'Left|Right|Top|Bottom'
  4. Create second tab page, which will be your content page.
  5. Add Options shape data on the page with value 'Hidden'

The *page name of the other tab page* can be static (e.g. just the name statically defined) or can be dynamic by (for example) making use of the param placeholder (ref. DM Help).
