The Location and System shapes can be used on Visio drawing pages to assign a location and a system to the items you drag into the shape.
These shapes can be used on any page but are particularly useful on Plan pages, where you can drag and drop Items directly into the room.
These shapes are only applicable to new items being added to the project via Product Explorer, Labor Items Explorer, Package Explorer, or from the Products tab within the Visio interface. For example, they apply to items being added to the project, not existing items.
An item dragged into these shapes from the Project grid will not reassign that item's location and system.
Dragging shapes from one Location or System shape to another will not reassign the location and system of the shape.
Drag over a shape to a Visio page. In this example, I dragged over the Location and System shape onto a Plan page.
The Assign Locations and Systems interface will open. Make your selections.
After resizing the shape, I dragged a product I want to add to the project over it and dropped it into the shape.
The shape will be dropped, and the product will be added to the project, assigned to a location, and linked to a system.
