Version 18 adds insertion or removal of a role at any position, in any fact type, via the roles' context menus (works only in Visio 2003 or later). Version 18 also fixes a bug from version 17, updating the O.T.-shadow-setting macro to support the new, objectified-quaternary shape. Also new, as of version 17, are a discussion of how to get Visio 2007 and 2010 to enable macros automatically that are in Visio solutions or documents in specific folders on your computer, and a discussion of how to install the solution in Visio 2010.

 The ORM2_Draw2 Visio stencil for ORM diagrams is an updating and upgrading of the ORM2_Draw Visio stencil which itself resulted from ORM stencil development by various people, including Peter Ritson, Terry Halpin, and Andy Carver. It is an updating in that it updates (for Visio 11, 12, and ff.) the Table shape, and includes the deontic constraints and value-comparison constraints. It is an upgrading in that it adds built-in shadowing (for fact types and object types), built-in text-arrows (for fact types), built-in constraint-connectors, and some adjustable-arity fact types, as well as several relatively minor upgrades and fixes, including internal and external frequency constraints. Since version 1, many other improvements have been added (see the readme file).

Version 1's stencil (.vss) and template (.vst) files were created, based on ORM2_Draw, during the Winter of 2008-9, by Andy Carver with the help and supervision of Dr. Terry Halpin.  The files have been tested and used pretty extensively in both Visio 10 and Visio 12. A readme.txt file is included.

A bug was found and fixed after one party downloaded this version. If you were the first to download this version, please re-download. (The bug was in the code that re-glues connections made to the (nested) entity types.) My apologies for this, I thought it would be better to go ahead and fix this and re-upload as version 18, rather than make a new version right now.
