- If I change the Local Appearance (using the toolbars) is there any way to reset that element back to the element's Default Appearance?Before you could do that you'll have to reset the default on the Default Appearance dialog (F4) first.
- If I were to manually change the colours back to match (using the toolbars), does that actually reset the appearance, or just make it look the same (ie to EA the element still has Local Appearance that just happens to be the same a Default Appearance)Interesting question. Curious to know why you'd want to know. Anyway, the answer is that when you create an element then change its color EA notes it down as an additional setting and when you set it back to default EA uses the same additional setting to set it as default. So if one wants to know that if a particular element was ever changed since it was created then yes, by looking at t_diagramobject.ObjectStyle
The only way that I see to achieve our desired goals would be to show the Visio users how to improve their drawings so they give the EA import at least serviceable diagrams. Problem is that I have completely eschewed Visio and other tools in favor of EA for so long that I just have no idea where to tell them to begin.To start with, open a diagram in Visio then check for Template property at File | Info
Also if I could find in which diagram this legend has been used will more usefulCTRL+U
