Change a Symbol Type
The automated way to change a symbol type in FlowBreeze Standard is to use the Flowchart Editor (Standard edition only).
Excel has a built-in Change Autoshape Excel tool, however, in Excel 2007 and 2010 using this tool will cause all the connector lines to become disconnected from the shape, and you will need to reconnect them by dragging the end points to the symbol's sides. The Flowchart Editor corrects this problem.
For FlowBreeze Basic Edition users, please follow the steps below, depending upon your version of Excel.
Excel 2007 - 2010:
| • | Click the symbol's border to select it. |
| • | Excel should automatically display and select a Format tab. |
| • | Click Change Autoshape from the drop down, and select the new symbol type from the gallery. |
| • | Any connectors routed to the symbol will now be disconnected. Click the connector line and drag the end point to the side of the symbol to reconnect it. |
Excel 2000 - 2003:
| • | Click the symbol's border to select it. |
| • | On the FlowBreeze toolbar, select Layout > Change Autoshape then select the new symbol type from one of the sub-menus. |
