Re: User defined values

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Get one of the shapes from the Flowchart stencils and have a look at it's
Shape*** (Window > Show Shape***)

The user-defined values are called Custom Properties.

Right-click menu behaviors are in the Actions section.

Note, that when you right-click a shape, there is a "Properties" item at the
bottom. This was added by the shape designer, in the Shape***, and is
exactly what you need to do.

Just copy the Actions section, which has an action formula of "DOCMD(1312)",
which will show the properties dialog for the shape.

Good luck!
