Default Problem with positioning objects in visio

Hi,
I have the problem of positioning arrow shapes in Visio. I have to create something like in MS Word file attached. When I try to create a notched arrow and try to position it over the big arrow, it goes to the bottom of that big arrow. I am attaching screen shot. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,


Adil

The issue is that the Visio shapes are snapping or gluing themselves to other shape geometries.

You have two choices to prevent this.
- Either place the second shape off the first shape, and then use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move it into place
OR
- Turn off the options which enable Snap and Glue. You do this by pressing Alt-F9 and unchecking the first column items (Snap & Glue)

Question Alt F9?

Alt F9 doesn't work on my computer. Could you please tell me how you find Snap and Glue via the menue? CAn't find it in my Visio. I suppose it's because I have Norwegian language on my computer.

In the English version of Visio:
ribbon View -> Visual Aids section -> click the little arrow at bottom right

Thank's a lot!!! Suddenly Alt F9 worked, or I did something wrong when I tried last time. It seems I found a solution with Alt F9.
