Default Fine resize of Control transfer in flowchart

Besides drag the cursor on the handles, any other way to resize the shapes,
Control transfer in flowchart?
eg. Ctrl-Arrow ?

Default Fine resize of Control transfer in flowchart

Hello Alan,

For exact measurements use the View / Size & Position Window where you can
enter values (and some calulations) for the selected shape.

Also you might want to turn off ruler and grid snapping temporarily using
buttons on the View toolbar (View / Toolbars / View). This can make
positioning easy if you need shapes to not snap as is their default.

Hope that helps.

Best regards

John

Thanks.
I get rid of the grid and use the values for size.

Hello Alan,

Yes, or change the grid sizing to wok with your shapes. Check out Tools /
Ruler & Grid.

Best regards

John
