    I need Visio Stencils and these are not Visio Stencils.

    Hi guys, can you make some good visio stencils (at least for the appliances), like those of Meraki for example, so I do not have to insert cato pincture into my visio diagram?

    The files you sent are not Microsoft Visio Stencils.  Visio Stencils have an extension of .vssx, vssm, or vss.  I still need these to make my documentation look correct.

    in addition to the cato ring image, it'd be nice to have the cato pop one.

    these appear to be 3 to 4 years old.  maybe time for an update? : )

    Hi everyone, we appreciate  your comments on the stencils. We are working on new icons and are planning to update this article in a few weeks. Thanks!

    Any update on when the Visio stencils will be available?  The SVG files don't help.

    DAVID LEMBKE and Benoit Champagne Apologize for the delays.

    We updated the Cato stencils and icons and added new SVG files. In addition, we included the icons in a Visio stencil. 

    If there are other icons that you would like us to include - feel free to add a comment. Thanks!

    Hello,

    Could you please add icons for the sites and datacenters? The same you have in the Topology section in Cato management console?

    We updated the file with the icons you requested. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Hi all. 

    These are still far from adequate - is there a plan to produce some proper stencils here - what has been shared is next to useless without investing considerable time and effort.

    The VSDX file doesn't seem to contain anything useful and, as mentioned above, SVG files are not helpful in this context without considerable additional effort. 

    I've been asked to give a presentation about Cato to prospective customers of yours - in the end, I'll use the basic Visio stencils provided but it would look a lot better using your branding and imagery.

    As others have noted the VSDX isn't the same thing as actual Visio stencils. Proper stencils are easier to use. Is there any chance they will ever be provided?

    The Visio Stencil download above Cato_Icons.vsdx contains AWS Icons (see below. This is what came up when I opened the file).  When can we expect a Visio stencil?

    Do we have any updates on the CATO Microsoft Visio stencils available for download?

    We are still waiting for correct Visio stencils.

    Perhaps we are not being clear enough.  Let me put it into an Agile user story.  As a Network Engineer responsible for designing networks, we need visio stencils of all the CATO Sockets and other devices, SO THAT we can produce accurate visio diagrams for our organization.  

    Perhaps a picture might help.  Here is a stencil I created manually.  We would like a library (.vssx) file of all the devices so they show up in Visio.

    +1,000,000 Gerry Battista. I can't believe that I'm still hunting around for this.

    These help but they are still not Visio Stencils that can be imported into Visio.  Visio stencil files have an extension of .vssx,vssm, vss, or vsx depending on the version of Visio.

    Thank you everyone for your patience and feedback. We uploaded a new file Cato.vssx that should be the correct Vision stencils that you are requesting.
