Define a container master shape

Note: Microsoft Visio Professional must be installed on your computer; Visio Standard is not supported. Teamcenter containers are available only in diagrams whose owners exist in the Function and Logical Block views.

Procedure

1. In Visio, open the Teamcenter stencil in which you created the container master shape (click the More Shapes bar and choose Open Stencil). Note: if the stencil's title bar does not display a red asterisk, right-click the title bar and choose Edit Stencil — the asterisk indicates master shapes are editable.
2. Right-click the container master shape and choose Edit Master -> Edit Master Shape. A new pane opens for editing.
3. In the editing pane, click the shape (pointer becomes a four-pointed arrow), then right-click and choose Show ShapeSheet.
4. In the ShapeSheet, right-click and choose Insert Section. Select Shape Data, Actions, and Connection points, then click OK.
5. In the Shape Data section, type Object Name in the Label column. Make no other entries.
6. In the Actions section, enter formulas for the shortcut menu options (insert additional rows as necessary):

Action	Menu label
Actions.Properties	"Properties"
Actions.BeginTraceLink	"Begin Trace Link"
Actions.EndTraceLink	"End Trace Link"
Actions.EndTraceLinkAsSubtype	"End Trace Link..."
Actions.RemoveFromDiagram	"Remove from Diagram"
Actions.GotoTeamcenter	"Go to Teamcenter"
Actions.OpenDiagram	"Open Diagram"
Actions.DeleteInTeamcenter	"Delete in Teamcenter"
Actions.CreateDiagram	"Create Diagram"
Actions.CreateDiagramDiff	"Create Diagram..."
Actions.createAndPaste	"Create New Object and Paste"

(Each action's formula follows the pattern RUNADDONWARGS("QueueMarkerEvent","/comp=SiemensPLM /product=TCUA /action=<ActionName>").)

7. In the Connection Points section, enter formulas for connection points on the master shape — you can specify as many as you want. Example set of 12 points around the shape perimeter:

#	X	Y	DirX	DirY	Type
1	Width*0.25	Height*1	0 in	-1 in	0
2	Width*0.5	Height*1	0 in	-1 in	0
3	Width*0.75	Height*1	0 in	-1 in	0
4	Width*1	Height*0.75	-1 in	0 in	0
5	Width*1	Height*0.5	-1 in	0 in	0
6	Width*1	Height*0.25	-1 in	0 in	0
7	Width*0.75	Height*0	0 in	1 in	0
8	Width*0.5	Height*0	0 in	1 in	0
9	Width*0.25	Height*0	0 in	1 in	0
10	Width*0	Height*0.24	1 in	0 in	0
11	Width*0	Height*0.5	1 in	0 in	0
12	Width*0	Height*0.75	1 in	0 in	0

8. Close the shape sheet and the editing pane, and click Yes to save your edits.
9. In the related mapping file (.xml), enter a ContainerShape tag for the master shape. The ContainerShapes section identifies which shapes are defined as containers (each tag relates a specific object to a specific shape). Container shapes are mapped to functions and logical blocks — you can specify multiple container shapes:

<ContainerShapes>
<ContainerShape Name="Container"/>
</ContainerShapes>
