Get relative shape location in visio

votes

I am generating a shape report to list x,y locations of all my shapes. The report includes "Display Text", "X location" and "Y location".

The "X location" and "Y location" are equivalent to the PinX and PinY properties in the shape sheet. However these does not reflect the page grid, and do not refer to an origin (0,0), so the coordinates are all offset with some value.

I would like all coordinates to refer to the left lower corner of a specific rectangle, that surrounds my reported shapes. Shows the PinX property from the shapesheet reported in the table not matching the x location of the shape.

Please check that all shapes have rotate point in center of shape (by default), not in bottom-left corner of shape! enter image description here PinX/PinY values you can see in Size & Position Window In bottom of this window you can find field named Pin Pos.

This field corresponds to a combination of a pair of values in cells LocPinX & LocPinY. This is what caused the offset ! enter image description here
