I created a shape which I plan on re-using over and over. It is basically a box with a diagonal line and some text in it. I saved it in a my shapes template. When I drag it into a blank sheet it is fine. When I try to resize it everything falls apart. The box will get smaller but the diagonal line stays the same and the text goes to two lines instead of one. I tried making everything one layer, locking it but that doesn't allow me to change the size. I need all items to shrink / expand at the same aspect ratio.

So much depends on how the shape is constructed. Email it to me and I'll take a look.

I'd take Paul's offer, he is a professional shape developer.

Shapes looked at and fixed, it was a grouped shape but the diagonal line had absolute coordinates instead of being related to the group shape.
