Default Create stencil from CAD

I'd really like some kind of wizard that enabled me to create a Visio stencil from a CAD product drawing. The generic stencils are - well - very generic and is most suited for residential users. I'd like to be able to create a visio stencil from a CAD product drawing as most products has available CAD drawings.

From AutoCAD use the copyclip command to copy your block. Then create a new shape and paste the AutoCAD block. As last step set the properties via shapesheet.

To save time, you can copy an existing shape and then edit it (as master), delete the old shape and paste the AutoCAD block. Then modify the porperties via shapesheet.
