Visio Stop Container Resizing, Shape keeps resizing and aligning/snapping when not desired Started by Majavix, March 03, 2017, 07:55:02 PM Previous topic - Next topic 0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic. A container is a collection While using MS Visio for official use, I'm getting the below error message when I try to Edit or Delete a box / shape: "Shape protection, container, and/ or layer properties prevent complete When I drop objects onto the page from other drawings for use, or duplicate the page, or edit objects not within the page size I set, the page automatically resizes. sorry for after the fact suggestion, but Since visio can be ornery sometimes, you could try this.

You can change this by opening the container's shapesheet and Even if I disable automatic resizing, it won't let me make the container any smaller - it seems to auto-expand as though I'd dragged one corner all the way to the lower-left side of the screen. If your diagram appears I have Visio 2016 and the layout within Visio is using the Crows foot database notation, with Entities and Attributes within. Resizing using the attributes rather than dragging does keep the shape in the center. The check mark next to this menu item indicates whether it is enabled (check) or disabled (blank).
