Can't Move Textbox in UML Diagram
I'm creating a UML Activity Diagram with Visio 2007. I have three swimlanes,
a couple of action states, some decision symbols, and some control flow arrows. I'm trying to create guards (e.g. [a_guard]) near the decision symbols using Textboxes. However, when I create a textbox, I can't seem to drag it where I want it. Each time I drag and release the textbox, it snaps back to its former position. If I try to move it with the arrow keys, it does the same thing like a typewriter carriage. Does anyone know how to move a textbox? Thanks. |

I think you should be using a Constraint shape for this, not a text box. The Constraint shape has a handle (yellow diamond) that you can use to connect the constraint to the shape with the guard condition. -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd.
