Distributing Shapes

When you distribute the shapes they say they are equidistance but they appear to be different as the spaces may be 1 1/2 boxes apart and the other space 3 boxes apart?

For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability

RE: Distributing Shapes

Hi Charlotte,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

Distribute Shapes is a tool that is used to evenly space three or more selected shapes on the drawing page. The equal space relates to the space between shape 1 and shape 2 and shape 2 and shape 3.

If you select three shapes and distribute them. Keeping the shapes selected, produce a report for the selected shapes only showing the X position. Once you open the excel file, it should show that the shapes are spaced evenly based on the centre point of each shape.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Simon

Visio tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Visio 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Visio 2010 as well as Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
