Attributes
Unit
Optional string. Represents a unit of measure. The default is NUM. For details about NUM, see Units of measure.
F
Optional string. Represents the element's formula. This attribute can contain one of the following strings: "someFormula" if the formula exists locally, "No Formula" if the formula is locally deleted or blocked, or "Inh" if the formula is inherited.
If the attribute is not present, the element's formula is a simple constant, for example, <element>5</element>.
Err
Optional string. Indicates that the formula evaluates to an error. The value of Err is the current value (an error message string); the value of the element is the last valid value.

If this element contains 0, 1, or 2, dynamic glue is established when either of the following occurs:
Shapes are dynamically glued using the Visio application user interface.
Shapes are glued to the PinX or PinY elements of another shape.
If shapes are glued to shape elements other than PinX or PinY , static glue is used.
Changing this value from allowing to disallowing dynamic glue does not sever or change existing dynamic glue.
The GlueType element is relevant only when contained in a Shape or StyleSheet element. It is ignored when contained in a DocumentSheet or PageSheet element.
