Default visio 2007 how to disable automatic layout in uml use case diagram

I'm a casual visio user. Visio 2007 automatically re-positions use case
'oval' elements when they are positions to close to each other. For
example, if I superimpose one use case element on top of another then Visio
automatically moves the top-most element so they are no longer superimposed.
Is there a way to disable this automatic layout feature?

Yes.
menu File - Page Setup - Layout and Routing
and deselect "Move other shapes away on drop".
