Center a drawing

Center a drawing

With Microsoft Office Visio 2007, you can center your entire drawing on the drawing page, or just selected shapes.

Note: If your drawing does not appear centered when printed, the drawing page and printer paper may not be the same size and orientation. Either match the drawing page size to the printer paper size, or center the drawing page on the printer paper. For more information on matching the drawing page size to the printer page size, see Change the drawing page or printer paper size.
