How to Flip Shape in Microsoft Visio

Some shapes don’t just come along with how you want them to look like with other shapes. This article will guide you to navigate the tools in Microsoft Visio and flip a shape according to your preference.

• Step 1: Open Document in Microsoft Visio

  To start, open the document you are currently working on in Microsoft Visio. Identify the shape or groups of shapes that you want to flip. Analyzing the best angle of the shape would be best to help the drawing come together.

• Step 2: Select Shapes

  Afterward, choose the shapes that you want to flip by clicking them. If you want to flip all the shapes in your drawing, highlight all the shapes or press CTRL+A. However, if you want to flip more than one shape, hold CTRL then click those shapes.

• Step 3: Flip Image

  

  Now that you have selected the shapes, click the Position which can be found in the Arrange group on the Home tab. Next, point to the Rotate Shapes. To flip the shape vertically, choose Flip Vertical, and if you want to flip the share horizontally, select Flip Horizontal.

• Step 4: Check Flipped Shapes

  Before proceeding to create your next drawing, check the shapes that you recently flipped. There are shapes, particularly when you are using a template, that can’t be changed or moved because they are locked and meant to stay that way in that template. This last step doesn’t always apply to all drawings but it’s better to check than going over the shapes when everything else is done or exported.
