Visio has several tools to help you lay out shapes and connectors neatly and evenly. You might use different tools at different times while you create diagrams. Some can make small adjustments to shape positions, and some help you rearrange entire diagrams. The tools are organized in these four areas:
- Visio Set Distance Between Shapes And Symbols
- Download More Shapes Visio
- Visio Set Distance Between Shapes And Lines
- Auto Align & Space button: Use Auto Align & Space if you are satisfied with the layout of your diagram, but just want to make it neater and straighten connectors without moving things much.
- Position commands: Use the commands under the Position button if you want to fix only the alignment or only the spacing of selected shapes, or if you want to rotate or flip your diagram.
- Re-Layout Page gallery: Use the Re-Layout Page gallery if you want to try a new layout of your diagram, without necessarily needing to keep the initial positions of the shapes.
- Template-specific layout commands: Some diagram templates come with their own layout commands that are designed specifically for that diagram type, including the Organization Chart and Brainstorming Diagram templates.

The options on the Rotate Shapes submenu rotate or flip a selected shape.
- Select a shape, and then click the appropriate command.
- On the Home tab, in the Arrange group, click Position, and then click Rotate Shapes, and select an option.
If more than one shape is selected, these commands rotate or flip them while maintaining their relative positions to each other, as though the page were turned.
In contrast, the commands on the Rotate Diagram submenu rotate or flip the diagram orientation, but leave the shape orientation as it was.
Re-Layout Page gallery
Re-Layout Page is located on the Design tab, in the Layout group. If you have a simple diagram and you’re not sure about the best way to arrange it, select the shapes you want to rearrange or click outside the diagram to remove any selection and affect all shapes. Then try holding the mouse pointer over the various designs in the gallery to see what effect they have. You can see a preview without committing to a layout until you click it.

Re-layout shapes
- On the Shape menu, click Re-layout Shapes.
The Re-layout Shapes command works best with connected drawings, such as flowcharts, network diagrams, organization charts, and tree diagrams.
The Re-layout Shapes command also works best when shapes are connected in the correct order. For example, in a top-to-bottom drawing, the connector's begin point should be connected to the top shape, and the connector's end point should be connected to the bottom shape.
Configure the shape layout
- Do one of the following:
- To lay out an entire page, make sure that no shapes are selected.
- To lay out part of a page, select those shapes.
- On the Shape menu, click Configure Layout.
- Under Apply settings to, click either Selection or Current page.
- Under Placement, click the placement options that you want:
- Style Click this option to set the style for how the shapes will be laid out. Look at the preview to see if what you select is what you want. Click Circular for drawings with no direction, such as network drawings.
- Direction Click this option to set the direction that is used to place shapes. Look at the preview to see if what you select is what you want. Download tsurezure season 2 sub indo.
- Alignment Click this option to set how the shapes are aligned. This option is enabled only if you select the Hierarchy placement style.
- Spacing Click this option to set the spacing between shapes.
- Under Connectors, click the connector options that you want:
- Style Click this option to set the type of drawing path, or route, that is used to connect shapes. Look at the preview to see if what you select is what you want.
- Appearance Click this option to specify whether the connectors are straight or curved. Look at the preview to see if what you select is what you want.
- To apply the connector options that you selected, select the Apply routing style to connectors check box.
- To enlarge the drawing page when shapes are laid out, select the Enlarge page to fit drawing check box.
- Click OK.

pvCurveIndex | Optional | Variant | Identifies the point on the shape in conjunction with pvPathIndex and pvt. |
pvt | Optional | Variant | Identifies the point on the shape in conjunction with pvPathIndex and pvCurveIndex. |
Visio Set Distance Between Shapes And Symbols
Return value
Double
Remarks
The ( x,y) point is expressed in internal drawing units (inches in the drawing) with respect to the coordinate space defined by the sheet immediately containing ThisShape.
The pvPathIndex, pvCurveIndex, and pvt arguments optionally return values that identify the point the returned distance is measured from. Call that point ( xOnThis,yOnThis). It lies along the c'th curve of ThisShape's p'th path and can be determined by:
You can use the PointAndDerivatives method instead of the Point method if you want to find the first and second derivatives at position t along the curve.
If pvPathIndex or pvCurveIndex is not Null, an Integer (type VT_I4) is returned. If pvt isn't Null, DistanceFromPoint returns a Double (type VT_R8).
The DistanceFromPoint property considers guides to have extent and considers a shape's filled areas and paths.
The Flags argument can be any combination of the values of the constants defined in the following table. These constants are also defined in VisSpatialRelationFlags in the Microsoft Visio type library.
Constant | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
visSpatialIncludeDataGraphics | &H40 | Includes data graphic callout shapes and their sub-shapes. By default, data graphic callout shapes and their subshapes are not included. If the parent shape is itself a data graphic callout, searches are made between the parent shape's geometry and non-callout shapes, unless this flag is set. |
visSpatialIncludeHidden | &H10 | Consider hidden Geometry sections. By default, hidden Geometry sections do not influence the result. |
visSpatialIgnoreVisible | &H20 | Do not consider visible Geometry sections. By default, visible Geometry sections influence the result. |

Use the NoShow cell to determine whether a Geometry section is hidden or visible. Hidden Geometry sections have a value of TRUE and visible Geometry sections have a value of FALSE in the NoShow cell.
If the parent object has no geometry, or if Flags excludes consideration of all geometry, the DistanceFromPoint property returns a large number (1E+30) which should be interpreted as infinite.
Visio Set Distance Between Shapes And Lines
The DistanceFromPoint property does not consider the width of a shape's line, shadows, line ends, control points, or connection points when computing its result.
