Note, all the hard work belongs to Josh – I’ve just added a few connection points and saved them as a new stencil (.vss).
To install the stencil – download and unzip the file above. Move the resulting .vss file to either:
Your My Shapes folder
C:\Users\[User name]\Documents\My Shapes
or your stencils folder, the path for which is described in
File / Options / Advanced / File Locations… / Stencils
Raster images
As you know raster images generally don’t scale well, however the above images are fairly large (averaging somewhere around 1200 x 1200) which means they can be stretched a fair way before pixelating. In general you would want to be careful with image sizes if your drawing is likely to contain a large numbers of instances. In this case, given the abstract nature of the shapes, I think it’s unlikely that you’d see a diagram with 500 instance shapes.
Anyway, they’re a great set of shapes and I hope you find them useful.
[Update 18.04.12 - If you're after other cloud shapes then Visio MVP John Marshall recently sent me this clever shape. It's based on a line pattern and so scales and alters shape, in a rather pleasing way, as it's resized (click on the image to download)]
