Is there a way to control the radius of rounding for the rounded
corners of a rectangle? *I opened up the shape sheet, and it looks
like it might be controlled in the "Geometry 1" table. *Ideally, I'd
like the rounding radius to scale with the minimum of the height and
width, but manually specifying it would be just as good.


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.

Thanks for the offer, paul. I think you answered this in another
post!

Why...you're right! 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.

:-) See what happens when we all Paul together as a team! :-)

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.

How does one do an exceptionally loud groan using these texting
symbols?

GROAN.

Thanks very much, Paul.
