Making shapes the same size

In UML visualization, you can change multiple shapes to make them the same height and width, same height, or same width, to improve the readability and organization of a diagram.

You can resize selected shapes to match the primary shape that has filled sizing handles. The selection method that you use determines which shape is the primary one that has filled sizing handles:

• If you select shapes by clicking Select All, the shapes are resized to match the last shape that you added to the diagram.

• If you select shapes by using the selection tool in the Palette, the shapes are resized to match the shape nearest the selection border’s starting point.

• If you select shapes by pressing Ctrl or Shift, the shapes are resized to match the first shape that you select.
