Syntax

expression.Drop (ObjectToDrop, xPos, yPos)

expression A variable that represents a Masters object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data type Description
ObjectToDrop Required [UNKNOWN] The object to drop. While this is typically a Visio object such as a Master, Shape, or Selection object, it can be any OLE object that provides an IDataObject interface.
xPos Required Integer The x-coordinate at which to place the center of the shape's width or PinX.
yPos Required Integer The y-coordinate at which to place the center of the shape's height or PinY.

Return value

Master

Remarks

Using the Drop method is similar to moving a shape with the mouse. The object dropped ( ObjectToDrop) can be a master or a shape on the drawing page.

If ObjectToDrop is a Master, the pin of the master is dropped at the specified coordinates. A master's pin is often, but not necessarily, at its center of rotation.
