A shape inside a group will have one of these three settings. There are three possible settings for the resize behavior: Scale with group, Reposition only and Use group's setting. This is presented as Resize Behavior in the Format > Behavior dialog. If I can't find a solution, I will ditch Visio in favour of Lucidchart. ResizeMode is the name of the Shapesheet cell that controls shape resize within groups. I can shift move the shape a pixel at a time to close the gap but then on resize, it shifts out of position (even when grouped)! It will not snap to the top or bottom in the same manner i.e. If I drag the simplest, non-themed rectangle onto the canvas, it will snap to the sides on another rectangle. Shapes don't snap to other shapes accurately (or stay snapped) This does not seem to be possible in Visio and I can't think of a workaround apart from creating text boxes that I stick to the shape or:Ģ. Network devices have many interfaces so it makes sense to label the multiple cables at each end e.g. So far, I've hit 2 showstopping limitations and I don't see a way around them. I have a complicated network diagram that I maintain in Lucidchart (a cloud diagram tool) and wish to transcribe it/redesign it in Visio. I have an Office365 subscription that includes Visio 2016 which I was excited to use. In case if you need to transfer your project file to other PC you need to copy the background image together with your project file.I'm a long time Linux user and have just switched to Windows 10 at work. Additionally you can lock your background image from modifications and selection using pop-up menu (right mouse button + "Lock in Place")

Enter known distance between 2 points to scale the backgroundĥ. On Site Plan tab right click an empty space and select Background/Load Image from pop-up menu.Ĥ. In case if your background image is larger than "4000x4000" pixels you can resize your background using MS Paint, Paint.NET, GIMP or any other graphics software.ģ. What I have tried and does not work: Put in container, lock. Not only a little, but trade places, so last one comes first, etc. When I extend / resize by dragging canvas edge downwards (ctrl-drag) the connectors move around. Prepare your BMP or JPEG background image. I place them carefully to group and so on. In order to import background image you should:ġ. Prior to version 7.0 of the software, you had to convert other image formats in BMP or JPEG and then import them, but for Version 7 (PRO) you can also import AutoCAD *.DWG, or *.DXF files directly. This feature allows you to import and upload background images of different formats as explained below.
