I need the Summit-G2 Visio Stencil in VSS format

Nico_Lueck — Wed, 08 Feb 2017 19:38:00 GMT

Is there any way to get the G2 especially 440-G2 in VSS instead of VSSX, as I only have Visio 2010.

Nico,
All available visio-stencils are in below website, unfortunately, the G2 series stencils are in vssx format only.

Hi Steven, sure I found that, but can't use them as they are not usable in 2010 version.

Nico,
No VSS format stencils available for G2 series currently, I'm not sure whether below Compatibility Pack could help you on this. Good luck.

Because we update the G2 series stencils last, that's why it is vssx extension.

Not sure if you are running Viso 2010 SP2, though there is mention that there is support for newer files with SP2.

Hi Nico,
I posted a link to a converted file in this thread. Try this file: http://tech.extremenetworks.com/ftp/ftp_new.aspx?file=Visio/SummitX-G2-04142016.vss
Ty also made a good suggestion above.
