Q |
How does Aresti work with
Microsoft Vista-capable
Visio 2007 |
|
A |
It seems
to work OK. To set the default file locations, the menu
commands are:
Tools, Options, Advanced...
and then the File Path button at the
bottom of the dialog box.
To allow the Aresti Macros to run, the menu commands are:
Tools, Trust Centre, Trusted Locations... and
set C:\Aresti as a trusted location. |

Q |
Can I show the Fair Play System Super Families for the
figures in my Free Programme? |
|
A |
Yes, if
you upgrade to Aresti 2008 via the downloads
page. |
|
Q |
Sometimes when I close Visio, I have a number of
dialog boxes left open on the screen behind the Visio pages. |
|
A |
Yes, if
you upgrade to Aresti 2008 via the downloads
page. |
|
Q |
Using Visio 2003 or later, sometimes when I move a
control point, not all the right bits of the figure move along with the
point. |
| A |
The bug is not really
a bug, but is brought about by a 'development' in Visio 2003 onwards that
was not there in earlier versions.
In Visio (old and new) you click a figure once to select it and then, if you
click again on part of it, you will select a layer within the figure. In the
old Visio versions, the little selection box squares at the apices of the
shape went grey when you selected an internal layer. This difference was
obvious to see. Also, in these older versions, you could not access the
'control points' on the embedded layer, only on the top layer. (Most Aresti
shapes have three layers: a layer for the black lines, a layer for the red
dashed lines, and a top, control layer).
In the newer Versions of Visio, the second selection (which is almost
certainly done inadvertently) still leaves you with green vertex markings,
albeit with a small cross on them. What's more, the control points are
accessible and will just affect that single layer, not all three layers.
So you can get weird things like these:
This issue was resolved in Aresti 2006. If you are still getting it, you
definitely need to Order an upgrade
to 2008. |

Q |
In Visio 2003 I can't run the Aresti macros. |
| A |
To run the Aresti
macros in Visio 2003 you will have to set Visio's macro security level to
"Low". Using Aresti macros under this setting will not harm your computer. |
| Q |
What version
of Visio do I need to run Aresti software? |
| A |
Aresti 2007 and 2008
require Visio Standard 2002, Visio Standard 2003, of Visio Standard 2007
(Vista)

| Q |
On
installation I get a message like: Error:
"Unable to locate file '<temp folder>\msftqws.pde\st6unst.exe'. Would you like
to browse for the file yourself?" or file may be 'vb6stkit.dll'. |
| A |
This error can occur due to damaged
media or setup file, left-over files from a previous installation attempt or a
machine-specific issue. Information is available from Microsoft Support at: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q216/2/31.asp |
| Q |
When
I start Visio, I get a number of dialogue boxes and error messages that
originate in the Aresti Add-On routines. |
| A |
When you install Aresti 2008, you need to modify the default file paths for Stencils, Templates and
Add-ons. You do this by clicking on Tools, Options, FilePaths... from the
Visio drop-down menus, and then typing 'C:\Aresti;' as the first entry in the
file path statements. If you mistakenly type this in the "Start
Up" file path, the executable routines will run automatically when
Visio is started. Delete 'C:\Aresti;' from the beginning of the StartUp file
path statement. |
