Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to use the Move method to move a selection by a specified amount.

Public Sub Move_Example()

    Dim vsoShape1 As Visio.Shape
    Dim vsoShape2 As Visio.Shape    
    
    Set vsoShape1 = Application.ActiveWindow.Page.DrawRectangle(1, 9, 3, 7)
    Set vsoShape2 = Application.ActiveWindow.Page.DrawRectangle(3, 6, 5, 5)
    
    ActiveWindow.DeselectAll
    
    ActiveWindow.Select vsoShape1, visSelect
    ActiveWindow.Select vsoShape2, visSelect    
    Application.ActiveWindow.Selection.Move 2, 2

End Sub
