The eVSM Toolbar Buttons

For the software to work, the eVSM buttons similar to the ones below must be active.

Delete To clear this page, right-mouse click on the note and select the Cut command.

Click “eVSM” tab to

see eVSM buttons

If you DO NOT see the eVSM

buttons, please visit

www.evsm.com/v9/nobuttons

Step 2: Open the Quick MCT Stencil

Click the Open button in the

eVSM toolbar if the form

does not appear.

Select MCT, and click

Open.

The left hand side has the Quick

eVSM stencils which are optimized

for specific application areas such as

manufacturing vs office vs

healthcare.

The Quick stencils contain macro

shapes which are often collections of

individual eVSM shapes with pre-built

names, units, equations, and other

properties.

A new map is initiated by selecting

your application area from the "Open"

button. Only the stencils required for

your selected application area will

open on the left side.

A Visio file can have multiple pages

which are accessed with these tabs.

Each page gets locked to a chosen

eVSM application and then not be used

for other applications.

Step 3: Explore the eVSM Environment


eVSM adds this toolbar to Visio as well

as the stencils on the left and right. If

the eVSM toolbar disconnects, click

File>Save As and save the file, close

the file, then re-open it. This tip can

used for other crashes in eVSM.

The right side has two

stencils. The main

eVSM stencil, showing

the eVSM version

number, and the eVSM

Extras stencil which is

just a subset of the

main stencil to help

new users.

Hover over each button in the eVSM

Toolbar to learn what it does. Detailed

help and tutorials are available at the

eVSM help site which can be

accessed via this button.

Learn Visio BasicsStep 4:

Do not re-size eVSM shapes. Instead

grow the drawing page when needed.

To re-size the page, hold down the “Ctrl”

key, and then drag any page edge to the

required size. This method works on all

four edges of the page.

Save your Visio file and then

insert a new page via the right-

mouse menus on the page-tabs.

The Time Center allows you to specify the work hours.

· ODay, OHr, OMin are all units of Office time

· Day, Hr, Min are all units of Production time (used

for manufacturing centers)

This converter

means “A week

has 5 office days”.

The “Wk” connects the different types of

time (office time, production time,

calendar time). The calendar time unit

converters are implicit such that a Wk has

7 Cdays, each of which has 24 CHrs.

“Centers”. Use the centers to
