2007: Lanes change position when moving drawing

[wleonard47]

Good day,
This issued isn't unique to 2007, but that is what I'm using at present.

Is there a way to prevent lanes from jumping around when the entire drawing
is selected and moved? This occurs, for example, when the drawing size is
changed and the need to move the drawing presentation up to the top of the
page.

Thank you, Bill

Hi Bill,

Probably best to just grab the frame/title that encompasses all of the lanes
and flow symbols. This should bring everything along with it. No need to
select all or draw a selection net around the whole thing.

Hi Chris,

That is exactly the fix for my much-too-difficult approach. Thank you.

I'm usually very good at trying things, like "Gee, I wonder if I just pick
the frame if everything will come along with it?", but not this time. Do you
remember Jack Nicholson's reply to Tom Cruise after having asked him how his
father was in "A Few Good Men"? That about sums it up.

Thanks again.

Bill
