Custom made shapes aligned to the grid (Read 2593 times)

	Hi, I have created several shaps using ShapeTemplates. When using these shapes (created programmatically) they get offset to the grid making attached arrows look funny. Is there any way to allign shapes to the grid? Best regards, Magnus

	Hi, The apex points in the shape outline must lie at 0 or 100 coordinates to make them aligned to the grid. Or you could define anchor points where the arrows should connect, such that their coordinates coincide with the ones from the shape definition. Stoyan

	For one particular shape I have defined achor points at (0,50) and (100,50). When rotating this shape 90 degrees these anchor points does not allign to the grid. ??? /Magnus

	It depends on the center of the box being aligned to the grid as well, whether the points will be aligned when the box is rotated. To have the box center aligned, you might handle the BoxModified event and make sure the box size is an even times the grid size. Stoyan
