Example

The following Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to use the FreeformDrawingPrecision property to print the current freeform drawing precision setting in the Immediate window. It also shows how to get an ApplicationSettings object from the Visio Application object.

Public Sub FreeformDrawingPrecision_Example()

    Dim vsoApplicationSettings As Visio.ApplicationSettings
    Dim lngPrecisionSetting As Long

    Set vsoApplicationSettings = Visio.Application.Settings
    lngPrecisionSetting = vsoApplicationSettings.FreeformDrawingPrecision

    Debug.Print lngPrecisionSetting

End Sub
