Visio Online: Can't Reduce Canvas Size
I have created a diagram using Visio online. My Canvas size is comically large compared to my design. when I go to Design->Size it shows that my canvas is set to 8.5x11. Given the size of my fonts and shapes my diagram should not be microscopic on an 8.5x11 canvas. Does anyone know how to shrink the canvas or what could be causing this issue?
I'm access Visio through my work MS 365 account. Maybe the issue is that I only have access to a paired down online only version because none of the options in the Design tab that you describe are available to me. I can turn on page breaks, but that doesn't help with the infinite Canvas issue.
Take this:
- Fit to Drawing: On the Design tab, look for the Size option. Select Fit to Drawing to automatically adjust the canvas size to fit your content.
- Page Setup Dialog: If the above doesn't work, you can manually adjust the page size:
- Go to the Design tab and click on the Page Setup dialog box launcher.
- Under the Page Size tab, select Custom Size and enter dimensions that better match your diagram.
- Infinite Canvas: By default, Visio Online uses an infinite canvas. If your diagram appears small, it might be due to the infinite canvas setting. You can try enabling page breaks under the View tab to better visualize the actual page size.
