	Hi @all, is it possible to import the BeginArrow and EndArrow Properties of a VisioStencil? Best Regards, Cyrinael

	Hi, We can add this too next week - to clarify, are you trying to import connector's 1D shape definition, or that's something you have in node shapes 2D graphics? Best Regards, Slavcho Mindfusion

	Hi Slavcho, I'm not sure, if I understood your question correctly. I want to import the EndArrow/BeginArrow Property of a Visio Stencil. They are ranging from 1 to 45 (in Visio 2010) and represent the Visio Arrow Shapes. I will map them afterwards to the corresponding Mindfusion Arrow Shapes or will create new ones. Thank you, Cyrinael

	Hi Cyrinael, The Visio stencil API from vsx.dll is currently used along with the VisioNode class derived from DiagramNode, and I don't think it supports the so-called (in Visio SDK) 1D shapes, used to display connectors. So we need to know whether you'd also expect a corresponding VisioLink/Connector class, or are you ok with only accessing the imported stencil definitions and assigning corresponding shapes to the current DiagramLink properties? We could add properties for accessing stencil masters' EndArrow/BeginArrow values in next couple of days. Creating a VisioLink-kind of class will be a big undertaking so we'd have to schedule it for a later release this year. Regards, Slavcho Mindfusion

	Hi Slavcho, for my application there is no need to create a own VisioLink class, since I recognize whether the Stencil is a connector or a node and in case of a connector, i alter the behavior and paint a DiagramLink instead of a DiagramNode. For me it would be sufficient to just read the properties and assign them to the DiagramLink. Thank you, Cyrinael

	this build adds LineBeginArrow and LineEndArrow properties to the Vsx.Shape class - https://mindfusion.eu/_beta/vsx_beginarrow.zip Regards, Slavcho Mindfusion
