Im using Visio 2010 from our msdnaa. Im searching the function to “substract” two shapes from eachother. E.g. i have a circle, but I only want the half circle, so I lay a rect over the circle and “substract” the shapes from each other.
When I search through the web I only find help for visio 2003. There must be such a function!
You don’t state if you are trying to do this manually or through automation.
If you are doing this manually you need to use Shape Operations; in particular the Fragment operation. This operation is not on the ribbon. An easy way to find the Shape Operations is to turn on Developer Mode, see these instructions: Working in Developer Mode. Alternately you can customize the existing ribbon to add the Shape Operations.
If you are trying to do this through automation you need the Fragment method on the Selection object.
