Visio 2007 is possible to select a row of turret and specify distance each other

[kagliostro]

Hi friends

I'm restarting to use Visio (I've a 2007 version)

I woud like to know if is possible to select a row of single turrets and specify the distance between one and other for all at the same time ?

If is possible, how ?

Thanks

Here's how to do it with Visio 2010. You should have the same functions but probably located on a different menu.

COOL

I finded the comands on the shape dropdown menu

So now if I know the position of the first and of the last turret I insert the number of turrets I want and Visio do all the job

a lot of time saved, till now I did all that by hand

Simply Fantastic

MANY MANY THANKS Steve

One other question if it isn't too disturbance

Is possible to select a row of eyelet and swap all them with one other shape all at the same time ?

(Example I've a row of eyelet and want all the row become a row of turret)

Thanks

I don't think so.

Thanks Steve

I did a search and seems that some version of Visio has something similar that but not my version

I don't use that method to align turrets. I use guides. I put down a lot of vertical guides spaced 5/16" apart and then several horizontal guides for my rows. Then I glue my turrets to the intersection of the horizontal and vertical guides. Then I start dropping components and I glue them to the vertical guides and also glue the leads to the turrets. (It's a lot faster to do it than to explain it). Now if I need to reposition something I just move the guide. Everything that is glued to the guide moves too.

Interesting, I'll try also this

Today I wasn't drawing with turret I was drawing a simple faceplate and to space the components in equal measure is very very easy with the method you teached me

Thanks my friend

That's a good method for faceplate work. I still prefer using guides. Play with the attached Visio file and see what you think. You must turn on guides to be able to see them.

Thanks Steve

I used a similar way but less sophisticated than your's, I didn't glued components to the guide

Today I  was drawing an idea of faceplate for this amp that is under conversion from PA to Guitar Amp (Geloso G1 1020 A)

....an idea of faceplate for this amp...

Ack! That's a beautiful example of 1960s Italian design! Three knobs should be enough for anybody! Or at least stay with the original typeface/font.

Maybe 'Micro': (MicroFLF)
