We are often asked how to use the rich Visio shapes produced at Visimation in other applications such as Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, etc.\u00a0 There are several ways to do this. First, we\u2019ll discuss how Visimation has made it very easy.\u00a0 Then, we\u2019ll explain what to expect when you copy and paste manually from Visio into other programs.<\/p>\n

Using prepared clipart images<\/strong><\/p>\n

Visimation network equipment shapes are free and we refer to them as ProShapes<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Other shape sets that we offer for sale are called GoShapes<\/strong>.\u00a0 We also \u00a0offer versions of each that deliver \u201cvector clipart\u201d in a PowerPoint file.\u00a0 These files contain one slide for each Visio master shape on the Visio stencil.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When you place the left navigation window into Outline view as in the adjacent image, you will see an indexed list of all of the parts for easy access.\u00a0 The title on each slide contains a hyperlink to the manufacturer\u2019s site for more product information.\u00a0 Note that the size of the part may appear small on the slide.\u00a0 This is because they are sized proportionally to one another so that you can combine images and they will be sized appropriately.<\/p>\n

Users can easily copy and paste from PowerPoint into other programs even if they don\u2019t have Visio installed on their system.\u00a0 These are called ProShapesArt and GoShapesArt<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 If you want both the Visio shapes and the PowerPoint EMF files in one package, these are called ProShapesPlus and GoShapesPlus<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
