Trapezoid side offset handle

Question

Is it possible to use Size & Position or other setting to set a precise length for the trapezoids side offset handle in Visio 2013?

Answer 1

Sorry, I'm still on Visio 2010 and there is no trapeziod shape (which is why I couldn't find it!).. Until someone else with Visio 2013 comes along I'd suggesty opening the shape's shapesheet and looking at the Controls section, that's probably where the value is set.

Answer 2

Splendid. Glad it works.

Answer 3

I opened the shape sheet and moved the Trapezoids handle to see which data field changed, and looks to be under Controls/Controls.Row_1/BOUND/Width and I think I can change the data here in this field to a precise length.

Thanks!

Visio 2013:   Shapes/General/Basic Shapes/Trapezoid

And when you mouse over the trapezoids handle selector it shows "Side Offset" but I don't see a way to set a precise length for this in Size & Position. 

Is it possible to use Size & Position or other setting to set a precise length for the trapezoids side offset handle (yellow line) in Visio 2013?

Answer 5

Depends upon the exact shape you are using. Which shape is it (need exact name and from which stencil? You might find a more suitable shape among the Visio Educational Shapes, but I've just tried the download page and it's broken. It tells me that if the download doesn't start within 30 seconds (it doesn't) to click a link, which just takes me back to where I was previously.
