I am trying so hard to make a stencil in Visio 2013 Professional based off of one of the master stencils. The Microsoft website says this is possible but I'm starting to have serious doubts.
Create, Save, and Share Custom Stencils
Edit a Master Shape
I am making UML diagrams. What I want is a dashed line ala the "Interface Realization" or "Dependency" association found in the UML Class category, but I want it without the arrowhead. This is what I have been doing to try and make that happen:
Right click on "Interface Realization" -> Add to MyShapes -> Add to New Stencil -> Save 'Stencil1'
Left click on More Shapes -> MyShapes -> 'Stencil1'
Right click on 'Stencil1' (now open in the Shapes browser) -> Edit Stencil
Right click on "Interface Realization" -> Edit Master -> Edit Master Shape
Right click on the shape in the new window -> Format Shape
Left click on Line -> End Arrow Type -> #00: None
WOOPS! SORRY SIR LOOKS LIKE YOU CANT DO THAT! BACK TO #14: Open Ended Arrow FOR YOU!!
This is so, incredibly, frustrating. What do I do in order to get Visio to save my changes?
The shape is designed to prevent easily changing this property, so you need to brute-force your way through this. Open up the master's shapesheet and change the LineFormat/EndArrow cell formula to 0 (or GUARD(0) if you prefer).

I can't find the "stamp" block in Scratch 3. Can't also find most of the blocks with the pen symbol
Pen blocks ('stamp' is one of those) are a separate extension in Scratch 3.0.
Please follow these steps to access these blocks.
Open your project ('look inside').
Click on the 'Add Extension' button at the far bottom left of the window.
Select 'pen'.
You should now see 'Pen' as a separate category in the toolbar along the left-hand side of your window.
Within that category, 'Stamp' is the second block from the top.
You only need to do this once per project.
During the migration from Scratch 2.0 to Scratch 3.0 (January 2, 2019), the pen extension was automatically added to every existing project on the Scratch website that contained pen blocks. So no need to add the extension yourself there.

The Scratch Team made the pen category an extension. To get the stamp block and the rest of the pen blocks, you need to click the bottom left of the screen where it has 2 Scratch blocks and a plus symbol. Then click "Pen".
It is now an extension. So, now you have to go to "Add Extensions" and click "Pen". Then, the "Pen" menu is out.
I am interested in adding antialiasing to my project in Unity. I read that to achieve this you must import Post Processing Stack. I have downloaded it from the asset store but i cant figure out how to use it. There are also settings in: Menu -> Edit -> Project Settings -> Quality, but they seem to not work.
What exactly do i have to do?
To use the PostProcessing Stack add a PostProcessingBehaviour component to your camera. Then, in the project window, create a PostProcessingProfile using right click and context menu.
Then, drag the newly created profile into a slot in the Behaviour component.
The profile has its own editor and changes can be made interactively.
I have a feeling antialiasing only worked if the camera rendering mode was set to deferred but that might not be true.
Good luck
I'm trying to work with eclipse EMF Feature Diagram Model Editor, I'm able to right click individual lines and turn them from mandatory to optional, and back again, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to use the OR or Alternative features which you can see in the key on the top right of the image below. It would be amazing if anyone knew how to do it as I've been racking my brain for ages trying to figure it out.
Try to drop your new feature on the line directory which has already drawn between parent and child on the diagram. (Not to drop boxes) You could see OR and XOR menu by clicking the line!
I need to create a custom shape like that one on figure
How can I do that?
Thank you.
In Visio 2013 Pro there is a Developer tool tab that allows you to modify existing shapes to create unique ones. You'll find these commands in the Operations drop down list of the Shape Design section on the Developer tab. If the Developer tab isn't in your ribbon bar, you can make it available by going to the Customize Ribbon section of the Visio Options screen.
the "Developer" tool tab exists in Visio 2010 Pro as well. it seems to be turned off out of the box.
go File->Options->Customize Ribbon to turn it on.
it makes a big difference when trying to build custom shapes.
I know how to create custom stencils and shapes....what I haven't been able to find out is if it's possible (and how) to have my custom stencil w/shapes show up by default in the Shapes window/menu.
I would like to avoid having to go to > More Shapes > My Shapes and rather just 'stick' my stencil in that menu by default.
Is this possible?
You can put your application's folder path in Visio's StencilPaths property, either through automation (Application.StencilPaths property) or through the UI (in the Advanced menu in the Options, click the File Locations button).
This won't open your stencil by default in Visio, but it makes it fairly easy to find. I can't tell by your question if this is what you're trying to avoid.
I suppose, you could also modify Visio's template files to add your stencil on, so no matter what your stencil is open for any new file.
Open stencils are something that's saved as part of a document's workspace settings. Ordinarily you would create a template that's saved with your stencil open. If the workspace option is included when saving, then subsequent documents (based on that template) will open with your stencil docked in position. Have a look at these two links for details:
