 In this training video, we're going to look at creating a stencil to add shapes from other stencils. So what you can do, you can create a custom stencil which you can then use popular shapes from different stencils and bring them into one stencil, which is what we'll do here. So we're going to go to More Shapes, New Stencil. I'm going to go to Name, I'm going to call it Diagram Shapes. So I can write it in line with a new stencil. Save it to the desktop in this example. I'm going to call it Diagram Shapes. Here's the name of it. And now we can add shapes from other Diagram stencils as basic shapes here. Summarise here, I readily use. Say the first four plus, I might say, can, maybe diamond. Here we go. First four, can, diamond, and cube. With the control, click on the first shape. Hold my control key down. Click on the square, ellipse, click on that, and circle. Now come down to can and diamond. Now what I can do, I can right click on these selected shapes, go to my new stencil and paste. There's a six that I selected. When you do things to new stencils, there's a save icon, so I'm going to save it. So now I wanted some arrows to come with this. So there's arrows on the arrow shape stencil. Then you can start closing down some stencils you use regularly and just use the merged shapes on one stencil to get more together in one place. So there's six I used. I might use readily. You can see the arrow shapes. I want to say simple arrow. Come down a bit, control key, striped arrow, notched arrow. Right click, copy. Go to the diagram shapes. Right click, paste. So these are the shapes that I want from an arrow shape. So I'm going to pretend that I want to use them regularly from those stencils but I wanted to create my own stencils so I know these are my regular shapes I use. If you wanted to, you can also color them differently because at the moment if I use the shapes from the stencils I've just created and drag it. They come with a standard blue which comes with Visio itself. Now we can color these. So for example I can, with the asterisks on, this means the stencil can be edited. So if I right click and line with that, so you're able to edit with the asterisks on. I take the asterisks off and try and do something. I can't edit what's called the master because the edit's off. I want to edit the master to change the color. So the asterisks has to be on to do this. So I'm going to change a couple of shapes in color and then show you what can be done to color them all in color. So I can click on the rectangle, right click, edit master, master shape. I'm going to click on the shape and go for a different color. So I'm going to use this color. Close it down, update yes. I'm going to reduce and you've got to update it. I'm going to press save again, save in the square. So it won't take long. I'll do all the shapes. So right click, edit master, edit master shape. I can't edit the shape. Fill, same color again. There we go. What I'm doing here, I'm standardizing the color that I like. So now I'll update. I'll do two more. So I want to hold them. I just do two more to get the idea. Fill, color denues in, this is this one. Close, update, yes. There's a color again. Save, one more color again. And if I just test them. So we can now see that the color has changed. We can see the color has changed. So the rectangle is now a new color. And if I put the diamond on, I'm going to press the original blue, because I haven't updated it yet. As you can see, the arrows are still blue. So I connect the arrow to the rectangle. You can see it's different colors. What you can do, you can color all the different shapes you like to the color you like. I put this grayish color, dark gray color in this example. And then you can pull them to the diagram page. Some colors don't automatically update. So there are some colors which these shapes do not color very well. But the color I've chosen does. There are other colors which are fine to update the coloring. But they don't all update themselves. So you've got to pick the colors which work with these updates. But there's an example of a stencil where certain shapes have been copied from other stencils, put into the one stencil. And we can now color them and use them as required. But this now completes the training video on creating a custom stencil, naming it, adding shapes from other stencils. And it's almost like creating your own favorite shapes, that's what we've done here. And then you can add them and color them as required for the colors that work with this kind of way of working and customizing stencils and editing different shapes. This completes the training video on a new custom stencil for shapes with shapes added from other stencils and where the shapes have been updated in color in this example.
