I just got done doing it today and am in the process of trying it out. Just need to tweak a few things before I try it.

I'll keep you guys posted...

You have to put Visio in developer mode.
Then dock the Wire and cable - stencil
edit the finish wire master, and edit the data sheet.

Running 5.5 now how would i make my Control Wire always be purple instead of Grey?

Hi,

I have modified the formula for User.LineColor for both Rough Wire and Finish Wire so that Control wires show as purple and not grey. Place the attached Wire and Cable.vss in your C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\D-Tools\SI5\Visualizations\Stencils folder and you should be OK.

Take a backup of your current Wire and Cable.vss before replacing it with this file in case of any problems.

Wire and Cable.zip

Aaron,

Sorry the forum does not allow vss files to be uploaded.

I added a entry in the support wiki on how to do this -

Hope this helps.

Naresh,

The link above no longer works.
Can you please advise where I can find info on how to change the wire colours?
