I'm trying to create a cloud image using Visio and I can't find that option.  I'm working on a diagram with different subnets and I'd like to put the clouds as borders.  I'm using MS Visio 2010.  Where do I find the cloud image using Visio?

How do I make cloud image using visio?

Hello,

You can create a lot of shapes in Visio stencils. Steps for creating a shape are:

1. Open a new stencil from the file menu, when you are on the Shapes click on the New Stencil. Or if you want a custom stencil from the file menu, go to Shapes->My Shapes and choose a stencil.

2. For editing a stencil go to the stencil title bar and with right click choose Edit Stencil.

3. With right click on the mouse on the stencil window select New Master and setup the characteristics for the shape. Click on OK button.

4. Right click on the mouse on the blank shape icon and go to Edit Master->Edit Master Shape. Now create the custom shape and click Save.

For creating a cloud around the different areas get the pencil tool and draw the bunch of arcs or the other way you can get the cloud shape from the stencil. Select the shape, right click on it and select shape, select operation desired.

Regards,
