Thanks. Since you refer to Geometry1, it appears you are within the shapesheet. Each shape can have only one rounding value, so the value is stored in a seperate Section called Line Format. The cell is the last one in the group and is called Rounding. If you set the value to 5in for a 10in square, you will get a circle. John, What you say works with a fresh rectangle. However, it doesn't work with shape File-Shapes-BlockDiagram-BasicShapes-RoundedRectangle. Of all the shapes, that is one where the corner rounding is purposely done in a different manner. The rounding is controlled by the yellow control handle. This changes the value in a cell which in itself changes the shape geometry. -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd. http://www.sdl.sandrila.co.uk/ SDL/MSC//URN/UML2 for Visio |

It works way better than trying to muck with some of the hard coded multiplicative numbers in the shape sheet. I got some rather knobby looking corners from doing that. Am I missing something in Visio about pulling up context/shape sensitive help or instructions? It would seem to make sense for shapes that can be made to have all sorts of different and complicated "smart" behaviour. |

All built-in shapes have a help identifier, Some take you to a special help page for that shape, many don't, many that used to now don't. -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd.
