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.
