How Unistep works
2.1
Shape group status
With Unistep you select a group of shapes and associate this selection with a button (1-9).
Then this group can be in the following states:
Normal
Display normal
Highlighted
The group is highlighted, so you see it better, especially if the diagram is
complex.
Isolated
The group is displayed in normal status. All other shapes are dimmed or
invisible (according to setup parameters)
Animated
Each shape of the group is highlighted successively. The order of the shapes
is the order of their initial selection.
2.2
Process display and animation
Your process is divided in multiple execution threads and steps. Some of them may be
simultaneous with others. With Unistep you can show the dynamics of your process.
The Unistep toolbar transforms Visio in a tool for high quality dynamic presentations!
You have 9 preset buttons that you may assign each to a group of shapes in your diagram.
When you click on one preset button, the selection is highlighted. When you click again, the
selection is isolated (see below). You can move from one selection to another one by pressing
the associated button.
Each assigned button is associated with the name you give to your selection. You can actually
see the name if you hover the mouse over the buttons.
With the keyboard arrows keys or with the toolbar buttons you animate the current selection (if
you have previously selected one), or all of them.
