Visio Templates for Factory Floor Layouts

We have a number of sliding doors, however i cannot find a shape for this in Visio.

And you won't. Visio is a very basic drawing package designed for things like power-point presentations (so don't expect the full functionality or extensive drawing library of a CAD drawing program).

Your best option is to draw the sliding door yourself once in Visio and save it as a stencil template that you can then use (think of it as a custom shape). For Microsoft Office Visio 2007 it is under the menu "File_Shapes_New Stencil".

Try typing in "Create a shape" into Visio's help for more information.

Hi Andy K,

The stencil: "Walls, Shell and Structure" has the following shapes:

− Pocket
− Double pocket
− By pass
− Bi−fold
− Double bi−fold

− Sliding glass

These all represent different type of sliding mechanisms

Let me know if this helps.
