In that state, deleting the line only affects the geometry inside the group, not the group’s behavior at all.īy the way, in case you want to try this, I just went through the exercise of inserting an image into the group instead of drawn geometry. When you delete the line, you must be in the “Open Group” mode so that you are essentially working inside the group envelope. It’s the group that you will be modifying to create the 1D behavior you want. After you draw the line, size it to 1.9″ long, and then Group it, you have a group with just that line inside of it. I think you may be missing a couple of important factors. Now, when you drag a 1D endpoint the aspect ratio will remain constant. This will set the Height as a function of the width. In the Shape Transform section, in the Height cell, enter “GUARD(Width*.092)”. Open the ShapeSheet for your device shape. I’m going to explain how to lock the ratio of width to height, so first, calculate the ratio of width to height of your device. I’ll assume we’re working with this kind of device shape. So, if you drop a shape that complies with this spec onto an unscaled Visio page, a 19″ wide device will show as 1.9″ in “length” because it’s a 1D shape. I may need to post an article about this since pictures would help but let’s see if I can explain this clearly enough in words.īTW, keep in mind that Microsoft’s original spec for Visio equipment shapes was that they would be at a scale of 1:10. To force it into the behavior you want, you need a ShapeSheet formula. Yes, Visio 1D shapes don’t seem to obey aspect ratio protection as one would expect.
