Description
Getting this error loading several stencils via the Shapes panel.

OS: Windows 11 Enterprise
Version: 10.0.22631 Build 22631
Visio Version: Visio 2016 Standard Build 16.0.18827.20102 64 Bit
Method to recreate:
- Download the .zip from github
- Unzip the .zip file
- Move stencils to MyShapes folder
- Open Visio, open Shapes panel
- Select a downloaded stencil (More Shapes > My Shapes > IT Generic > Network 2D Flat)
- Error message pop-up
Note: This method to reproduce the error will work with some stencils, and other stencils will load properly. Seems to be roughly 40% of stencils have this error.
Resolution attempts:
- Closing and restarting Visio (Error persists on stencil loading from Shapes panel)
- Restarting the PC, opening Visio to a new blank drawing (Error persists on stencil loading from Shapes panel)
- Opening the offending stencil from Windows Explorer (Opens the stencil in Visio in a new window, successful) and dragging stencils across windows to an already open Visio diagram (successful), then attempting to load that stencil into the drawing via the Shapes panel (error)
- Changing drawing units (both Metric vs US blank drawings) (Error persists on stencil loading from Shapes panel)
