Dock Shapes with Stencils on Secondary Monitor? - D-Tools Forum

I use a multiple monitor setup. I dock the data matrix, drawing explorer, stencils etc. on a secondary monitor, and they all "snap" together and I select the one I want using the bottom tabs. However the shapes window always has to be kept elsewhere on the second monitor because it will never snap together with the others. I've always just assumed this is one of your typical Visio limitations/inconsistencies but figured I'd ask in case there is any way I do not know of to dock it with the others?

David,

This is a Visio limitation. Stencil windows cannot dock with custom anchored windows we create.

The thing that is weird is that the other Visio windows will dock with yours and visa versa, it's only the shape window that won't. I wonder if they changed this in the upcoming Visio 2010. Knowing MS, probably not, but I can hope.
