Do you mean drawings rather than stencils? A stencil is a collection of
shapes. When a drawing is created the shapes are copied from a stencil to a
local stencil that is part of the drawing. It is possible to update the
masters in the local stencil and have all the appearances of those shapes on
the drawings automatically updated.

I am working on a project that uses multiple stencil files. I am able to
export to an excel database, and refresh each symbol by dragging to the
drawing, but am wondering how I could update multiple symbols at one time
in
the actual stencil file from the excel database? The ONLY updates I can
find
update one at a time and I am needing a quicker way to update my symbols'
custom properties all at once, rather than editing each individual custom
property. I am using visio 2003 standard.
Is this possible with Visio and excel?
