			<p>Contains elements that define a master for the document.</p>
			<p>A <i>master</i> is a shape on a stencil that you use repeatedly to create drawings. When you drag a shape from a stencil onto the drawing page, the shape becomes an instance of that master, and a local copy of the master is included in the document.</p>

<Master
    ID
    [BaseID]
    [UniqueID]
    [MatchByName]
    [Name]
    [NameU]
    [IconSize]

    [Prompt]
    [Hidden]
    [IconUpdate]
    [AlignName]>
</Master>
</code></pre><h2>Attributes</h2><p>
			<b class="bterm">ID</b>
		</p><p>Required int. The unique ID of the element within its parent element.</p><p>
			<b class="bterm">BaseID</b>
		</p><p>Optional string. A GUID (globally unique identifier) that identifies the master across documents.</p><p>
			<b class="bterm">UniqueID</b>
		</p><p>Optional string. A GUID that identifies the master within the document.</p><p>
			<b class="bterm">MatchByName</b>
		</p><p>Optional boolean. The <b class="bterm">MatchByName</b> attribute determines how Microsoft Office Visio decides if a document master is already present when an instance of a master is dropped on the drawing page. It allows changes made to a document master to apply to new instances of the master, even if the instances are dragged from a stand-alone stencil file.</p><table>
