Add custom property sets to shapes

Select the shapes in a drawing, or master shapes in a custom stencil, to which you want to apply custom property sets.
On the Tools menu, click Custom Property Sets.
Select the check box next to the name of each custom property set you want to add to the selected shapes.
Do one of the following:

To add custom properties to selected shapes on the drawing page, click Shapes selected in drawing.
To add custom properties to selected shapes on a custom stencil, click Shapes selected in stencil.

To replace the existing property sets with the custom property sets you selected in step 3, select the Remove existing property sets check box.

Note If this check box is cleared, the custom property sets you selected in step 3 are added to the existing sets.

Click Apply.

Note If the selected shapes are in a stencil that is not editable, you will be prompted to have Microsoft Office Visio copy the shapes to a new stencil.
