How do I rotate text in Visio in increments less than 15 degrees?

[SOX Goober]

WHen I try to rotate a text block in Visio, the rotation occurs in 15 degree
increments. How do I get rid of this?

 

[Al Edlund]

check the shapesheet, I believe there is a field where you can manually
enter the degrees that you want (I think under the covers it uses radians)

I found that you must enter an angle (numerical) in the Size and Position
Window. You can open the SPW by right clicking on the text window, select
View, then Size and Position Window. If you try to rotate using the green
handlebar, it defaults to a 15 degree snap.

When rotating the shape move it, move the cursor further from the shape and
you will notice the snap angle decreases. So the closer you are to the shape
the bigger the increment.

This works for all objects and is an excellent piece of functionality!

I did a quick check and I could not find it in the help, so it is not
surprising that it is an unknown feature.
