I need the value "antena2" at position "0" to be shown in a form in the Visio drawing. And that if I modify the value at any time, in visio it will also be modified. How to do this?

Great question!

Unless I'm missing something I don't think that's currently possible out of the box. However, with the power of automation scripts and Visual Overview combined, you can do pretty much anything.

For instance, you can:

  1. Execute a script upon opening the visual overview
  2. Retrieve the memory file values in the script
  3. Output the values with the "script output to variables" functionality.
  4. Use the variable that was output upon opening the Visual Overview in a setvar shape.
