Re: Help with Shapes in Visio

my memory of this stuff is a bit hazy....could you set the width using the "Object properties" dialog?...which can be accessed with right click or using menu.

the hardest line to type correctly is: stty erase ^H

Thanks Aquarium, A little more digging shows how to do it.... ....... my $shapeObj = $visioPage->Drop($stencilObj, $dropX, $drop); $shapeObj->{'Text'} = $shapeName; my $shpWidthObj = $shapeObj->Cells('Width'); my $shpHeightObj = $shapeObj->Cells('Height'); $shpWidthObj->{'Formula'} = $WIDTH; $shpHeightObj->{'Formula'} = $HEIGHT; ........ I just typed this in from memory - have to run to the store. I'll post a fuller example (with descriptions) for future generations... <lol>	[reply]

Can you post your final program, jdsell? I am interested in how you were able to perform the Drop mostly, as I have been having trouble finding the correct syntax for it. What do $stencilObj, $dropX, and $drop equal? This is what I have. I am trying to drop a connector. `$stencilobj = $Visio->ConnectorToolDataObject; $vsoConnectorShape = $Visio->ActiveWindow->Page->Drop($stencilobj, 2, +2);` [download] Thanks! Joe	[reply] [d/l]
