I want to print the text of a shape data property as the text of the shape. I do this by using inserting a Field in the shape (Insert > Field > Shape data). This works in Dataminer Cube except that the font color is rendered as black in Cube, no matter what it's set to in the Visio file.

Hi Robin, currently, there is no option to set the text color of a visual overview shape in DataMiner.
However below alternatives can possibly provide a solution:

  • Using the ThemeForeground, ThemeBackground and ThemeAccentColor. This allows you to create a visual overview that will match the available mixed, light, or dark themes. See docs for more info.
  • It is possible to set the background color of the shape using the "BackGoundcolor" shape data. See Setting the background color of a static shape for more info.

Hi Michiel. The font color of text in a shape can most certainly be set by just setting the font color in Visio. However when inserting text by using a visio Text Field, Cube always renders the text as black.
