Manage Visio file size by removing unused master shapes

Download Trial

VisiBatchClean keeps your Visio file size to a minimum by removing unnecessary data.  It extends the capabilities of our free VisiClean utility (features so useful, they’ve been added to Visio 2007!) by enabling you to remove unused masters from a list of Visio files in a batch process.
Have you ever wondered why a Visio file seems to be much larger than you would expect from the amount of graphics it contains?  There are several possible causes of this but the most common is a buildup of “unused masters.”  When you drop master shapes from Visio stencils onto the drawing page a copy of that master is added to the drawing. As you delete shapes from the page Visio does not check to verify if the masters are still in use… it simply holds on to every master whether it is used or not and the file size may be substantially larger than necessary. These masters are contained in the file’s Document Stencil that you can view by selecting File > Shapes > Open Document Stencil. 
You can manually select and delete masters on the Document Stencil but this is time consuming and tedious because you can’t tell which masters are actually in use on the Visio drawing until you press Delete and a warning message appears to inform you that it is in use. 
VisiBatchClean provides a much better way to clear your files of these unused masters to reduce file size and improve performance.

Features
  • Multiple ways to specify a list of files to clean
    • Drag from a Windows Explorer window into the VisiBatchClean dialog
    • Choose files to add to the list by browsing in a standard File Open dialog
    • Save a list of files (export to comma separated value CSV text file) so that you can easily load them back into VisiBatchClean for periodic cleaning
  • Run the clean process in the background without opening each file individually in Visio
  • Removes any unused masters from the drawings’ Document Stencils
  • Does not remove hidden masters that might be used with some Visio automation solutions
  • Reduction in file size will vary based on the number of masters that are removed
