Distort existing objects [rctangle to parallelogram]
Thanks, Staffan. It seems the cursor-over-the-line method isn't in Visio
2003 either. Your line tool suggestion works fine, though! Just one question: is there any way to align the vertices or adjust the line so I can make nice horizontal or vertical lines instead of the kind that have a little kink in the middle? Thanks, Jeff "Staffan" wrote: I don't think the method discussed here applies to Visio 2002 so no wonder it doesn't work. Try this instead: Select the rectangle with the Line Tool activated. Then you will see the shape vertices in the corners that you can move. /Staffan "moxsolid" wrote: Hi Paul, I am running Visio 2002 10.0.525, and i followed your instructions very carefully, yet i have yet to get the additional handles to present themselves either. i let the mouse hover over the lines of the rectangle and over the rectangle itself, neither of which seems to work. can you provide some other insight? thank you! mox "Paul Herber" wrote: On Tue, 30 Jan 2007 10:33:35 -0600, wrote: Paul Herber writes: I've posted a small video showing what I do here.

Sorry for the delay but here are some suggestions.
To align the vertices you either need to use the grid in the drawing or to set the coordinates of the vertices in the ShapeSheet. Try WindowShow Shape Sheet where you will find the x and y coordinates of each vertex. /Staffan "Jeff" wrote: Thanks, Staffan. It seems the cursor-over-the-line method isn't in Visio 2003 either.
