SYMPTOMS
When you convert an AutoCAD drawing that contains a ray object, Microsoft Visio changes the geometry of the object and does not create a master on the Document Stencil as expected.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, manually resize and reposition the ray object. To create a master on the Document Stencil, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the File menu, point to Stencils, and then click Document Stencil if it is not already visible.
 * 2) Press and hold down the CTRL key, and then click and drag the ray object to the Document Stencil.NOTE: The master is named Master.0 by default, but it is possible to rename it.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
A ray is a line in 3-D space that starts at a point that you specify and extends to infinity in only one direction. As a result, rays help reduce the visual clutter caused by numerous x lines in AutoCAD.
