The Lock Stencil feature protects a Stencil from being overwritten by updates from D-Tools. If you have modified any of the stock Visio Stencils you may want to lock them.

In the D-Tools SI window, click the Shapes tab then click on the Stencil you want to lock. Right-click and choose "Lock Stencil."

The following prompt will open, and click Yes.

The Stencil will now display in the Shape Tree with a lock icon next to it.
