Trying to copy and flip a floor plan to another side of the same drawing using Visio 2003.

How was the floor plan created? Is it an image? Or was it created using using the Visio floor plan template and floor plan shapes?

It was created by using floor plan shapes.

Thanks for the clarification. Another question -- what do you mean when you say that "it will not let me attach the file for others to see"? What are you trying to attach? And to what?

Are you able to copy, paste and reverse the drawing but it's after that when you can't "attach"?

Sorry, but it's not clear to me what you're trying to accomplish after the copy/paste/reverse... or even whether that operation is where you're having trouble.

I am was trying to attach the .vsd file so that others could see what I was working on.

OK. So you can copy/paste/flip successfully as your jpg shows.

To what are you trying to attach the .vsd file that fails? An email message? SharePoint? Something else? I guess that's the part I still don't understand -- can you be more specific about what you're trying to do with the vsd and what fails?

I am trying to attach the .vsd file to this conversation so that others may look at it and help me figure our my problem but Experts Exchange will not let me attach a .vsd file to this conversation.  I do not need help with this.  I just need help with the copying, flipping and pasting of the floor plan.

I am upping the points on this question.

Got it -- now I understand.

For unknown historical reasons, Experts Exchange doesn't allow upload of Visio files (*.vsd), consequently, you will need to change the file extension of the attachment to .txt before you can upload it. Once you do that, I'll download and change the file extension back so I can open the drawing.

Please let me know what part of the drawing you want to copy and flip. For example, is it everything to the left of the center line in your jpg or something else?

Here is the file in .txt format.

Hi, Kara. Thanks for the file... but I don't think it's the right file. If you look above, it says the size is 13 bytes -- no Visio file can be that small!

Why don't you try again and I'll take a look tomorrow.

It won't let me save directly as a .txt file.  I had to save it as a webpage and then a text file.

Actually, you don't want to save the vsd in a different way -- just rename it. That is, with the drawing closed, make a copy of the vsd file, then rename it to change the file extension. For example, if the file is called
   1st-floor.vsd
make a copy and rename the copy to
   1st-floor.txt

All you're doing is fooling the limited-capability file upload mechanism at EE by changing the file extension. You'll probably get a warning when you do the upload but you can ignore it and let the upload continue.

ok, trying again.
