Is there a way to select x number of shapes and perform the action Position–>Distribute Horizontally or Position–>Distribute Vertically?
@jeffrlynch,
You can add horizontal and vertical distances to a collection of shapes. Please refer to this help topic: Auto-space a Collection of Shapes in the Visio Page. The Add and Remove members of the ShapeCollection class allows to select a number of shapes.
the example provided looked good at first but doesn’t show how to initialize the ShapeCollection. I don’t want all the shapes on the page. I want to add the shapes I need to this collection and then manipulate (distribute horizontally) the collection.
If I create a collection like this:
ShapeCollection SrvsCollection = myPage.Shapes;
and then clear that collection it clears all the shapes from the page…
Is this possible?
