Resetting size of boxes

[SF]

Hi,

Is there a way to set size of multiples selected boxes to a specific size?
e.g to the widest or narrowest?

To change the dimensions of selected boxes, you can use the Size and Position
window (toolbar)>View>Size and Position Window and enter literal width
and/or height.

Enjoy.

WapperDude,

But this does not solve his problem. If you select multiple shapes, one
shape remains "most selected". With a larger border around it. And it is
only that shape that will change in size.

Changing the size in the document stencil does not dot this either, which is
normal.

It would be great if there was a solution for this, I remember that this is
not the first time this question was asked here.

I suppose the Sandrila Utiliities can do this. And the many examples of
using the Selection object in VBA can do it also.

Hmmm ... the Size and Position window DOES apply changes to ALL selected
shapes

You are right, I was wrong.

I tried it before answering, but I cannot reconstruct my error.

This is a great way of showing the important difference between 1D and 2D
shapes.
A mixed selection will show "Size and Position - Multiple Shapes" with "No
Common Properties".

What comes in the title of the window after "Size and Position" is important.
I work in Visio 2003.

But this is not the cause of my error.
