11.3 Adding Smart Resizing Behavior to Subshapes of a Visio Group

I am the author of the venerable Using Microsoft Visio 2010, from QUE publishing. The original book came with 41 companion videos that are no longer accessible from the publisher's site. This channel was created to share those videos with you.
Even though this content was produced for Visio 2010, many of the topics and techniques still apply to Visio 2013, 2016, 2019, and perhaps beyond. So enjoy! I hope they offer a bit of learning and a bit of entertainment!

So many 'advanced' Visio KZbin videos and the amount I learned here alone is staggering in comparison. Great content.

Appreciate the kind words!

Hi! I'm working on a visio automation project. My project involves reading data from several excel files and automatically create a complex visio file to organize these data in a visual format. Problem is, some shapes I will need to use are complex, there will be a master shape that contains several other shapes, which in turn will contain other shapes. At this level (so, third level) some information that comes from the excel files needs to be applied. First and Second level should also have their own shape data. To summarize, I'll have: - shape level 1 - master -> shape data set 1 - shape level 2 - sub-shape 1 -> shape data set 2 - shape level 3 - sub-subshape(s) 1 -> shape data set 3 also, the NUMBER of shapes at level 3 must be correlated to a shape data field in level 2. Is it possible to do it, or should I directly focus on a way to simplify this shape ?

As simple as pie. Pie to the 100,000th decimal, that is. ;) Thanks.
