Hi,

I am developing XML for Visio in an outside environment.
When I load simple masters with only one shape included and some
connect-points, I have no problems placing shapes on the drawing.
But when I load masters with multiple shapes, ex. square+circle, Visio will
not open the file.
My shapes in the drawing are coded like this (+ some variables set)
"<Shape ID="1030" NameU="2fordeler" Type="Group" Master="2">
< Some Variables>
</Shape>
"

The error-message I get is:
"The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the
start tag"

Suggestions Anyone?

Best regards,
Stigur
