LOC Function (VisioShapeSheet)
Takes a point defined in one shape's local coordinates and returns the equivalent point expressed in the local coordinates of the shape associated with the formula.
Syntax
LOC(point )
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| point |
Required |
String |
A point defined in one shape's local coordinates. |
Return value
String
Remarks
Local coordinates are measured from the lower-left corner of the shape's selection rectangle. Both shapes must be on the same page.
Example
LOC(PNT(Sheet.5!LocPinX, Sheet.5!LocPinY))
In this expression, PNT converts a set of local coordinates in Sheet.5 to a point. (Sheet.5 is another shape on the same drawing page.) LOC then converts that point to an equivalent point in the current shape's local coordinate system, relative to the lower-left corner of the selection rectangle of the current shape.
The 5 in Sheet.5 is the ID number for the shape, which is displayed in the Shape Name dialog box (Developer tab).
