MS-Visio Stencil and Template
Currently, LibreOffice only has support for Visio Drawing (.vsd/.vdx) files. It
would be nice if there was also support for Visio Stencils (.vss/.vsx) and
Templates (.vst/vtx).
When you open a stencil in MS-Visio, you get a blank file onto which you can
drag and drop all of the shapes that are included in the stencil. The shapes
that are included in the file are displayed in a separate panel. When you open
up one of these in LibreOffice you do get the blank new file, but not the panel
that has the shapes that are included. Similar behavior is occuring for the
Visio Template files: Visio opens a blank new Drawing with a seperate panel
that shows the Shapes that are included in the file. LibreOffice just shows the
blank document.
According to :
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visio/archive/2006/05/30/608089.aspx
the file formats for Drawings, Stencils and Templates have the same file
format, and only the behavior of the application differs based on the filename
extension that is used. So you can just rename a Visio Drawing from 'visio.vsd'
to 'visio.vss' to get a Stencil, and rename it to 'visio.vst' to get a
Template. I have verified this behavior with MS-Visio 2013.
I have attached a screenshot of a Visio Stencil opened in Visio 2013, versus a
screenshot of the same file opened in LibreOffice to show the difference.
