Arranging shapes in diagrams

Note Microsoft Visio Professional must be installed on your computer. Visio Standard is not supported.

To arrange the shapes in a diagram, you use the related features in Visio. You can place shapes anywhere on the diagram page without affecting the structure hierarchy in Systems Engineering.

Note

• Interfaces on functions and logical blocks are moved with the owning shapes.
• You cannot move shapes from one diagram to another.
• Every structure element that is represented by a shape is linked to the diagram.

When a member is moved out of the diagram owner's structure, the member's link with the diagram is removed. When a diagram is moved to another owner, the diagram's link with the previous owner is removed. The next time the diagram is updated, its previous content is deleted and all members of the new owner are added to the diagram.
