Configuring Systems Engineering > Customizing Visio diagram templates

Edit a diagram template

Note: Microsoft Visio Professional must be installed on your computer; Visio Standard is not supported. You cannot change the application domain for an existing diagram template.

Procedure

  1. Select the diagram template, then choose Tools -> Diagram -> Edit Template to open the Edit Diagram Template dialog box.
  2. Do any or all of the following:
    • Edit the name or description for the template.
    • Select Available to make the template available for creating new diagrams.
    • Select Hide Interface Shapes to specify that the template's diagrams do not display interface shapes for connections in the corresponding structures. Caution: connections without interfaces must be enabled via the Connected_ToRules preference (set to true); this setting cannot be changed after the diagram template is created, and a diagram without interfaces cannot be changed to display interfaces.
    • In the Membership Rule list, select a different rule for the object types that can be represented in the template's diagrams (choices vary by application domain).
    • In the Relation Rule list, select different GRM relations for the connector shapes that can appear in the template's diagrams (choices vary by application domain).
    • In the Select Template/Stencils list, select a different stencil file to associate with the diagram template (you can select two or more stencils via standard Windows multi-selection). Note: the default stencil depends on application domain — FM_Diagram_Stencil.vsx for the Function view, LM_Diagram_Stencil.vsx for the Logical Block view.
    • In the Select Mapping File list, select a mapping file with different Teamcenter objects and properties for the stencil's master shapes.
  3. Click OK to commit your changes and close the dialog box.
