Drop Shape XY Unit

[Arthur Yuen]

Dear all,

I am using Visio2002.
I use VBA to drop a shape in X and Y coordinate.
What is the default measurement unit? in mm/inch?
How can I change the default measurement unit using VBA?

Thanks,
Arthur

Unit used in inside is inch. If you would like to chage the unit into mm, you
are recommended to multiply or devide by 25.4.

Visio always works internally in inches. There are functions for setting
cell-results in other units, but the Drop function takes inches only.

You can simply multiply x and y by 25.4 to get millimeters.

When setting cell results for shapes, try the Result function. You can
specify the units there, ie:

shp.Cells("Width").Result("mm") = 25
shp.Cells("Width").Result(Visio.visUnitCodes.visUnitsInches) = 25
