Visio Alignment Box

Hi,

I am editing a number of the master shapes for the rack mounted devices
template/stencil.

I can edit the shapes but they appear to have a custom alignment box added
to them - when I ungroup the shape to edit them there is an object that
matches the shapes alignment box, however, once I have finished with the
editing and re-group the shape the new alignment box expands to contain all
the shape components?

I understand that you can add 'customised' alignment boxes to shapes but I
cannot find a good example of how to do this?

Does anyone know of any good, simple ( :-) ) examples?

Cheers,

Andy.

Rule 1: never ungroup a shape!
Use the Master Explorer or if you aren't editing a master then use the Document Explorer
window, all shapes and parts of a grouped shape are visible and editable from within
these.

As a note from the side, I suspect what is being referred to as 'an
alignment box' is really the fact that the shape has been made into a 1D
shape.
