      How to Build a Custom Template from Scratch using Pro Quick Draw (Visio)

      If our provided templates do not provide you the custom objects desired, you can create a layout entirely from scratch using Pro Quick Draw.

      Turn on the Template Editor Function & Create Template Foundation

      • Choose your slide orientation and size
      • Add your shapes and create the initial format for boarders& text boxes

      Convert Text Boxes to PQD Text Boxes

      • Select the text box, change Group No. to the correct number
      • Click Apply
      • Do this for all the text boxes that will be associated with each drawing

      Add Drawing Boxes

      • Click the Add Box button
      • The drawing areas are the last objects you want to add to your drawing
      • Size the Drawing area to fit the correct area.
      • Select the Drawing Shape, change Group No. to the correct number
      • Click Apply
      • If your drawing areas are all evenly spaced you can duplicate the drawing box and adjust the position.
      • Select the Drawing Shape, changed Group No. to the correct number
      • Click Apply
      • Repeat the process until finished

      Save the file
