I'm just wondering if it's possible to decrease the accuracy of the textual figure. Eg.I would like the distance 3,4516ft to show as 3,4ft. Hope there's a simple solution to this wish :-) Regards, Martijn Hi Visio Guy,

I can enter the number I need in the Custom Properties dialogue but the actual number available does not increase beyond 3... Cheers Steve Greetings, Visio Guy,

As requested by Adrian, is there likely to be a version that can handle more than 3 hops? I can enter the number I need in the Custom Properties dialogue but the actual number available does not increase beyond 3…

Cheers

I am a crime scene investigator who makes diagrams of scenes for court and documentation purposes. I am most satisfied with my diagrams when they are scaled or close to scaled. I take a slew of measurements at scenes of buildings and objects around the area. What I would like to do is use an ariel image of the site and then scale the image to the known measurements. This would allow me to "trace" all of the other objects in the image and not hassle with sizing each line and shape accordingly. Any help would be appreciated.

I have an article about it here: <a href="http://www.visguy.com/2007/10/20/lengthiu-bug-workaround-code/" rel="nofollow">LengthIU Bug Work-around Code</a> The article discusses a problem that has been fixed in Visio 2007, but there is info about the function that might be useful to you. - Chris Hi Tod,

If you are able to use VBA or .NET, you can determine the length of a curve in Visio using the LengthIU method. I have an article about it here:

The article discusses a problem that has been fixed in Visio 2007, but there is info about the function that might be useful to you.

I use the tool a lot when documenting Operator and Product flow diagrams. I want to be able to measure the distance travelled. FYI, I am using Visio Pro 2007. I have tried the Shape Area and Perimeter tool and it appears to be accurate, but I am not positive. I am looking for a way to determine the length of a Freeform Tool line.

And wait a second, aren't splines so early-90s? All my friends are NURB'n it these days.
