Text box sizes

How do I keep boxes all the same size if I need to change the size after I have createdf the drawing?

RE: Text box sizes

Hi Angela

Thank you for your question.

Once you have added shapes to your diagram, if you select all the shapes you wish to change the size of (click on one, hold down Shift and click the other shapes while holding Shift), then use one of the green square handles on the corner of the selection you have made to drag out, all of the shapes you have selected should be resized at the same time.

I hope this helps. If not let me know and I'll post an alternative way of resizing shapes.
