How Do I Download Cisco Visio Stencils?
Shapes in Visio stencils are often referred to as master shapes. When you drag a master shape onto a drawing page, you create a copy (or \u201cinstance\u201d) of the master. The master itself remains on the stencil so that you can use it repeatedly to create new copies of the master on drawing pages.
