Instant Define

There are situations when some of the shapes are used very rarely and there is no need to have them defined on the stencil. In these cases, it is possible to draw/copy a shape on the drawing and define it skipping the Import Shape. To achieve that:

•

Select a shape on the drawing that was not created by the Import Shape Wizard.

•

Select the Home Tab > Object > Define command.

The Define Item Wizard window will open. The dialogue is the same as the Import Shape Wizard, only step 2, Destination Stencil, is not available and in step 1 the Name field is disabled as it is not relevant. After the steps in the Define Item Wizard are done, the shape will be defined on the drawing in the same way as Diagrams shapes dropped from stencils.
