Review: Defining Parametric Behavior Review questions What cells determine a shape’s position? What type of coordinate system is used in Visio? What is an Intershape reference? Can you of examples where they might be useful? What would the formula in a group member shape’s Width cell refer to? Under what circumstances would you choose to set the Selection mode for a group shape to Group only? Name an advantage of using a shape operation to build a complex shape over using a group to build the same shape? Answers PinX and PinY. Cartesian Referencing a shape cell in one shape from another shape. Useful anytime dependencies are desired between shapes. It refers to the parent group’s Width cell. The formula by default allows the member shape to resize with the group. Use Group only selection mode anytime users should not be able to select the member shapes of the group. Complex geometry paths can sometimes be created more easily using shape operations than using the drawing tools.
