Microsoft Integration, Azure, Power Platform, Office 365 and much more Stencils Pack it’s a Visio package that contains fully resizable Visio shapes (symbols/icons) that will help you to visually represent On-premise, Cloud or Hybrid Integration and Enterprise architectures scenarios (BizTalk Server, API Management, Logic Apps, Service Bus, Event Hub…), solutions diagrams and features or systems that use Microsoft Azure and related cloud and on-premises technologies in Visio 2016/2013:

What’s new in this version?

I still have many things to do on this project, including organizing and cleaning up some resources, but I will leave that for another occasion. The main goal of this release was to provide the new icons present in the Azure Portal. In this version, the changes and additions are:

  • New shapes: I think almost all the new shape layouts in the Azure Portal have been added to this package.
  • New categories: MIS Azure Mono Color, MIS Azure Old Versions, MIS Azure Others, MIS Integration Fun.
  • Categories Renaming: MIS Databases and Analytics, and MIS AI and Machine Learning.
  • SVG Files: The SVG files from these new resources are now available on GitHub.

  1. Hi Sandro,

    Have tried to use both of the stencils packs and copied the respective files into the My Shapes folder, however, upon adding the majority of shapes to a blank document, they retain their shape, but are they are rendered grey and the actual detail obscured.

    Please can you advise.

    Thanks in advance.

    1. This has to do with the stencils being (in)compatible with themes. Click on the DESIGN ribbon and then expand fully the themes selection box. At the bottom of the box is an option labelled “Apply Theme to New Items”. If selected, unselect it. If unselected, select it. Try to add the symbol again.
