Does anyone know how to create a diagram symbol without a menu item? The architecture group want to be able to drag a definition object to the diagram so the diagram symbol appears (the wmf file) but do not want the option showing within the menu for the users to use.

So does anyone know how to either:
- Set a blank menu option in the depictions clause or
- Control the toolbar so it does not show the menu option?

I tried a number of things, even seeing if the invisible property might have done something. Of course not. What I ended up doing was:

Created a spacer bitmap called zzz_spacer.bmp which was one pixel by one pixel wide. So all four symbols do not appear so obviously in the tool bar now.

It'll do. :-)

That sounds about right...  I know if you don't assign a symbol for the toolbar, it will just use the text of the definition that's allowed as a symbol on the diagram.  Is your goal to keep people from creating new definitions because they're too lazy to use Choices?  If so, I hope it works!

It is to stop users inadvertantly finding a reason to use the symbol outside of our standard BPD symbols.

We can still use to the symbols via the menu bar as the Architect and I still need to access them. The bitmaps appear in the middle of the tool bar regardless of how I name the symbols. I tried starting with an underscore to put them at the front of the toolbar and 'zzzz' to put them at the end. Doesn't work por supuesto!
