Unable to find the name of the shape

Aspose.Diagram Product Family

dear support,


I have attached a vsd file. The majority of shapes inside the vsd file have a name. However, when I load the objects, the name of the shapes is not maintained and is empty.

Unfortunately, this seems to work sometimes and sometimes not :frowning:

thnak you

After a long time of trial and error, I have found the root cause of the problem.


The various shapes in the sheet are defined in a stencil.
When I grouped everything inside the stencil in a group, and entered the shape again in the vsd file, all subshapes magically got the name values again.

Strange, very strange.

Hi Guido,


Thank you for your inquiry. Weā€™re working over your query and will get back to you shortly.

Hi Guido,


Thank you for being patient. Could you please share your stencil file in this forum thread? Weā€™ll further investigate on our side to replicate the said issue.

Please find the stencil in attachment.


As I explained, the problem is that the names of the various subshapes are sometimes lost ( empty sytring ) when the shapes inside the stencil are modified within an existing group.

I have grouped all subshapes in group called ā€œGroeperingā€. When I select a subshape, and for example change the text, without deleteing and recreating the group, I sometimes get problems as the
names of the shapes are empty.

Deleting the group and regrouping eveything again is a workaround that resolves the porblem.

I would not give too many effort on this as there is a workaround.

Hi Guido,


Thank you for sharing the stencil file. Iā€™m sorry to share with you that I could not reproduce the said issue. Can you please share that in which format you saved the Visio drawing after updating a sub-shape text? Iā€™m not able to get a shape name as ā€œGroeperingā€ although I can notice when opened in the MS Office Visio 2010/2013. Moreover, Iā€™m not able to notice further empty shape names after modifying a sub-shape text. Itā€™ll be so nice of you if you can please provide us the original and output diagrams along with the exact source code.

Weā€™re looking forward to help you.

Ok, I simplified the application a bit as to illustrate things.


Attached you will find a Visio file test.vsd.

The Trend1.38 object has several shapes. In Visio, they all have a specific name.
When reading the Visio in Aspose.Diagram, the names of the subshapes disappear and are blank.

The code ( consoelapplication ) is attahced below.

I am using Visio 2013.

This problem is really very difficult to handle as the names of the shapes sometimes disappear.
