Microsoft Visio IDEF0 Activity Box Formatting Problem

I am not able to change the height off the IDEF0 Activity Box for my A-0 sheet.  How can I fix this? If I need to use Shape Sheet editor, guidance on how to use Shape Sheet would be great. I want the height to be 2 inches. I would also like to know how to change the height to any size if possible so that I have the option to try other sizes too.

I don't know how the internal shapes work but I think changing the top box height would provide a solution.

Thanks,

Hi,

This issue might be caused by the Shape protection (It's a grouped shape and its vertical size is protected and set to the sum of two of the internal shapes.)

. Please see the below image:

Uncheck the height property.

If we want to change the size in "Shape Sheet", please try the following steps:

  • Select the Use Case shape.
  • On the Window menu, click Show Shapesheet.
  • Click the Height cell in the Shape Transform section.
  • Remove the word GUARD in the Formula line (above the drawing page), and type the 2 in.

Hope it's helpful.

Regards,
