Strange Org Chart behavior

[Ken Whittington]

While building org charts in visio 2003 with the Orgc11 Org Chart Add-on, you
can choose how to arrange subordinates. But, it only seems to last for the
current parent you are dropping shapes on. If you subsequently move to a
child to begin dropping shapes on it, something in Visio "forgets" your prior
arrangement choice and reverts to another subordinate arrangement.

This came up because I am building a highly customized solution for a client
who always wants to use a particular subordinate arrangement, but the choice
does not seems to "stick".

Does anyone know of a way to make a chosen subordinate arrangement persist
for a given org chart?

Thanks,

Unfortuneately, that is how it works.

Thanks; I'm continuing then to look for a workaround.

Are you doing this by code?

Yes - It is all being done in C#. I wish I could get to the command interface
of Orgc11 (where I think this is being done, since the add-on displays the
arrangement dialog upon being called with the "Layoutdlg" command) and set
the correct value for the arrangement property I want.
