Add Shape to Diagram using Aspose.Diagram - Shapes lose styling/structure

Aspose.Diagram Product Family

Hi Support,
I’m using Aspose.Diagram .Net 19.10.0.0
After “AddShape” to the page, all dropped shapes are losing it’s structure/styling as defined in a stencil.
I’ve tried just two simple method calls :

  1. AddShape with size
  2. AddShape without size and SetSize/SetHeight afterwards
    In both cases I’m getting wrong, but different output.

I’ve attached Stencil with masters and two diagrams output examples

Would you please also share the sample code snippet which are using to perform the functionality. We will test the scenario in our environment and address it accordingly.

Hi @asad.ali,

Here is simple implementation that will reproduce the issue. I tried different implementations, but could not achieve the expected result.

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var asposeDiagram = new Diagram();
        var stencilPath = "TestStencil.vssx";
        var masterName = "Data object";

        asposeDiagram.AddMaster(stencilPath, masterName);
        asposeDiagram.Pages[0].AddShape(2, 2, 2, 2, masterName);

        asposeDiagram.Save("TestDrawing.vsdx", SaveFileFormat.VSDX);
    }

Note: all masters from the stencil have similar issue.
It looks like formulas/dependencies of sub-shapes are not triggered.
After manual resizing in Visio, the shape can be normalized in some cases.

Hi support,

The issue was fixed only for one Master “Data object” in attached stencil, but unfortunately it still exists for other Masters.
I previously mentioned that issue exists for all masters in a stencil (there is 4)
