resizing in groups

Is there a way to define a aspect ratio to lower all shapes at the same %? Cause it gets so massy after a while to contol all sizes etc :( visio seems to lack some imagination :) I try to group all shapes and resize them, then the links(lines) stays at the same size, which makes them flow out of shapes etc:( p.s.: I am using a BPMN Stencil(v1.1)

Sending data to SQL Server

Hi, I am building a solution to allow a user to upload shape data to SQL Server and I have a couple of questions. 1) Is it possible to include more attributes than just the shape data, but also details of the process model file such as it's title, version, etc? I could do with having the file name in every column of shape data for example. 2) It's quite a few clicks to export the data to an SQL database (about 5 or 6). Is there a way to have this feature available say next to the floppy disc save icon? Steve

Connector Text

How do I get the text on a dynamic angled connector to act like the text on a line, where it follows the angle of the line? When I put text on an angled connector it always puts it horizontally and it's time consuming to attempt to free-hand rotate it to get it to match the connector angle, and even then, if the connector is re-positioned, the text must be separately re-angled. If I use a line, the text acts the way I want, but if 2 intersect, there is no line jump. Is there a way to "combine" these 2 things?

Trying to change floor plan units to millimeters but does not work

Hi, I want to create a floor plan with millimeters as base unit. I created a new page with the floor plan shape and changed the unit to millimeters in the page properties. However, when I drag a wall to the page, it shows it's length in feet and inches. I can specify the length of the wall in millmeters but it still displays the result in feet and inches. Does anyone have a clue how I can change that? Thanks and regards, Robert

New Visio 2007 Problems

I was upgraded recently to Visio 2007 and can't seem to get certain things to work any longer. For example, some dialog boxes do not pop up (Configure Timeline) on the Schedule template. Nothing on the Data: Solutions menu is working. When I access Help it seems to be incorrect and doesn't match how the product menus actually are. Is this an installation or configuration issue that someone can help me with?

Memory Leak in Visio Data Refresh

Hi There, I am using the built-in data refresh in Visio 2007. I am automatically refresh every 3 minutes. What I have found is that the MemUsage incrementally increases after each data refresh until I get an error message of not having enough virtual memory. Is there a work around besides closing Visio down and restarting again after some hours?

The "set table" process is the same regardless of the main process that calls it. Do you just call them "start" and "end"? Or do you indicate what the trigger is within the "start" shape,
