Name	Description
AddGuide	Adds a guide to a drawing page.
AutoConnectMany	Automatically draws multiple connections in the specified directions between the specified shapes. Returns the number of shapes connected.
AutoSizeDrawing	Automatically resizes the drawing page by adding as many printer-paper-sized tiles as necessary to fit all shapes in the drawing onto the page.
AvoidPageBreaks	Makes small adjustments to shapes to move them off page breaks.
BoundingBox	Returns a rectangle that tightly encloses the shapes of a page.
CenterDrawing	Centers a page's, master's, or group's shapes with respect to the extent of the page, master, or group. .
CreateSelection	Creates various types of Selection objects.
Delete	Deletes a Page object. Can also renumber remaining pages.
DrawArcByThreePoints	Creates a shape whose path consists of an arc defined by the three points passed as parameters.
DrawBezier	Creates a shape whose path is defined by the supplied sequence of Bezier control points.
DrawCircularArc	Creates a new shape whose path consists of a circular arc defined by its center, radius, and start and end angles.
DrawLine	Adds a line to the Shapes collection of a page.
DrawNURBS	Creates a new shape whose path consists of a single NURBS (nonuniform rational B-spline) segment.
DrawOval	Adds an oval (ellipse) to the Shapes collection of a page.
DrawPolyline	Creates a shape whose path is a polyline along a given set of points.
DrawQuarterArc	Creates a shape whose path consists of an elliptical arc defined by the two points and the flag passed in as arguments.
DrawRectangle	Adds a rectangle to the Shapes collection of a page, master, or group.
DrawSpline	Creates a new shape whose path follows a given sequence of points.
Drop	Creates one or more new Shape objects by dropping an object onto a receiving object such as a master, drawing page, shape, or group.
DropCallout	Creates a new callout Shape object on the page near the specified target shape, and associates the callout with the target shape. Returns the callout shape.
DropConnected	Creates a new Shape object on the page, places the new shape relative to the specified existing target shape, and adds a connector from the existing shape to the new shape. Returns the newly created shape.
DropContainer	Creates a new container Shape object on the page, places the container around the specified target shapes, and adds the target shapes to the container. Returns the container shape.
DropIntoList	Drops the specified object into the specified list at the specified position. Returns the newly dropped shape.
DropLegend	Inserts a data graphics legend on a Microsoft Visio drawing page. Returns the list shape instance specified in the OuterList parameter.
DropLinked	Returns a new shape on the drawing page linked to data in a data recordset.
DropMany	Creates one or more new Shape objects on a page. It returns an array of the IDs of the Shape objects it produces.
DropManyLinkedU	Creates multiple new shapes on the drawing page that are linked to multiple data rows in a data recordset. Returns the number of shape instances created and an array of IDs of those shapes.
DropManyU	Creates one or more new Shape objects on a page, in a master, or in a group. It returns an array of the IDs of the Shape objects it produces.
Duplicate	Duplicates the specified page and returns the new page.

Layout	Lays out the shapes and/or reroutes the connectors for the page, master, group, or selection.
LayoutChangeDirection	Revises the layout of a set of connected shapes on the page, by rotating or flipping a connected diagram without rotating or flipping the individual shapes.
LayoutIncremental	Makes small adjustments to the position of shapes on the drawing page to better align the shapes or to space them evenly from other shapes.
LinkShapesToDataRows	Links multiple rows in the specified data recordset, as specified by their data row IDs, to multiple shapes on the page, and optionally applies the current data graphic to the linked shapes.
OpenDrawWindow	Opens a new drawing window that displays a page.
Paste	Pastes the contents of the Clipboard into an object.
PasteSpecial	Inserts the contents of the Clipboard, allowing you to control the format of the pasted information and (optionally) establish a link to the source file (for example, a Microsoft Word document).
