Title: Protecting the children of a group
Post by: maddin91 on November 18, 2018, 07:46:32 PM
Hi,

I have a simple question. Is there a possibility to protect the heigth and width of the children of a group?
So if I have three single forms and put them into a group the formula for the heigth and width are replaced and pending from the groups dimensions. But I want to change the dimension without changing the childrens dimensions. Is this possible?

Thanks for your help
Martin

You can replace the width /  height formulas with specific size values.  Use the guard fcn so Visio doesn't overwrite the values.  If you have some unique formulas, you use those plus guard fcn.

Thanks! The GUARD-function was what I was searching for. This works perfectly!  8)
