ConnectMaster Shape

A shape is identified as a ConnectMaster shape if the „CM_type“ characteristic of the shape is set up. This characteristic is automatically set up for a shape with the “Define” action.

Checking and Updating...

With “Checking and Updating“, all shapes of the documents are checked to ensure that they match the current version and updated if necessary. By additionally selecting the “Create New Context Menu” option, the context menu of the shape to be updated is also restructured. This ensures that all actions of the current version are available on the shapes.
