Using Variables inside a shape group

Solved520 views13th August 2024group InitVar set var

Hello DOJO

We have a template visio form, that can be used on many parts of our monitoring.
All elements are defined inside a list of variables.

The var:

The settings of shape:

The result:

It works fine, each time we need a new view, we just have to change the variables and the new view fit perfectly on the place we put it.

But if we group shapes, the variables are not retreived, and the shapes stay empty. I tried to use ForcePropertyXX without success.

Copy a shape and put it in a group:

The shape is not able to display the element from the variable.

Is it impossible to use a variable inside a group, or do I miss something?

Hi Joly,

Can you try adding the following shape data to the group:

  • View: [this view]
  • Options: NoAlarmColorFill
  • Enabled: False

I performed a small test and after setting these shape data to the group, child shapes were able to resolve the session variables. The shape data Options and Enabled are used to avoid making the group shape display the alarm of the view and disable the link to the view, respectively.

Hope it helps.
