resizing a "group" of shapes
I have created an object using a number of shapes and then grouped them as a
single object. When I resize the object to a smaller size by dragging a corner, not all of the shapes scale in proportion. For example if I reduce the size of the object by 50%, some of the shapes only reduce by, say, 45%. Any thoughts on how to overcome this would be appreciated. |

resizing a "group" of shapes
Hi,
I think it depends on the case. For example, if you change only the width of group, the width of a rotated rectangle by 30 degrees does not change as the width of the group. This is not a bug, because the formula in width and height cells keep unchanged. If you protect the aspect ratio of the rectangle, the width of rectangle changes as same as the width of the group. Howerver, the height of the rectangle also changes. If you make the inclined rectangle with line tool without any rotation, the width of the inclined rectangle changes the width as same as the group width, but this is not already a rectangle. -- Best Regards.

Correction:
If you protect the aspect ratio of the rectangle, must be corrected to If you protect the aspect ratio of the group, -- Best Regards.

resizing a "group" of shapes
Thanks for your help. What I found was that although the shapes were
appearing to not scale correctly, the real issue was i had 3mm radiused corners on my rectagular shape and Visio maintained the 3mm radius when I reduce the object size. Some of the superimposed shapes then overlapped the radiused corners. Obviously I would prefer the radius to scale as well but it is not a major problem to live with.

Hi,
How did you add rounding, with menu format? If so, the rounding value is constant even if how the scale is and where it is. To scale the rounding, rewrite the format in the Rounding cell in the Line Format section of ShapeSheet. Now the value of Rounding cell is 3 mm in the 30 mm width rectangle. You need to change the formula to GUARD(3mm*Width/30mm). -- Best Regards. JuneTheSecond Now, visual calculation is more visual. http://www.geocities.jp/visualcalcul...ish/index.html |
