MS Visio Shape alignment
Posted on 2012-12-29
Hi,
I have a visio 2010 diagram (floorplan) with various shapes (mostly tables) that are not aligned horiz & vert. Many have a slight (.05 degree) rotation. Rather than zooming in and using the mouse to rotate each one back to strait, is there an easy way to do this? I tried "auto-align" and that didn't seem to work. I also tried some other align tools (vert/horiz) which overlayed my selected shapes onto each other. What would be optimal is if there were a function to just select a shape and click on the "remove rotation" or "align perfectly H&V" or something like that.
Example:
XX
XX
XZ
The above is a representation of 6 tables where Z is the table with a slight rotation.
Thanks,

One technique:
A minor variation: select all shapes that need to be set to zero angle, then type 0 into the Angle field and press enter. The change will be applied to all shapes at once.
Select one rotated shape
Open the size and position window
Type 0 (zero) into the Angle field and press enter
At this point the shape should be aligned with the horizontal/vertical axes. To continue with additional shapes just select a shape and press F4 to repeat the previous action.A minor variation: select all shapes that need to be set to zero angle, then type 0 into the Angle field and press enter.

Thank you!
It took a while to find the size and position window.
Funny how this never came up on all my google searches to "auto-rotate", "fix rotation" etc.
Thanks for the help,
