Various useful formulae for use in Visio shapesheet cells
- Resizing text with the shape:
Set cell Character -> Size = 10 pt*Height/0.75 in
- Resizing text with the shape (with minimum and maximum values):
Set cell Character -> Size = Min(48 pt, Max(4 pt,10 pt*Height/0.75 in.))
- Level text - text that is always horizontal, sometimes called 'gravity text':
Set cell Text Transform -> TxtAngle = -ANG360(Angle)
