Am I doing something wrong? I can't seem to rename a shape more than once, and I cannot reference any shapes by their "given" names, only by their shape ID. Here's what I'm doing in Visio 2016 Standard:
- Create a new shape, which I'll call myShape
- Inside myShape, I draw a square. Visio gives it the default name of Sheet.5.
- From the Developer tab, I select Shape Name, and give Sheet.5 the name of "Square". The Master Explorer reflects the name change. The Shape Sheet for the shape reflects the new name.
- If I try to reference "Square" from another Visio object, I am unable to do so. I get an "error in formula" error. If however I put "Sheet.5" in the same formula, it's fine. I can't reference the shape by the name I've given it, but I can reference it by the ID.
- Furthermore, let's say I change my mind on the name of my shape. If I go to the Developer tab, select Shape Name, and change "Square" to "Cuadrado", this is reflected in the Master Explorer. However, the Shape Sheet's title bar still shows "Square" as the name.
Is this expected behavior? Is there a bug in my stencil? In my master shape?
