Visio 2003: Space shape could not be Auto Sized!!!

Erhan Dolek

Hi There,

I am using Visio 2003 with SP2.
Following action returns error message every time on Visio 2003.. Please try
it:

1- Open Visio 2003 and select "Building Plan"
2- Select "Home Plan" or "Floor Plan" from right pane.
3- Drag and Drop "Room" layout from Shapes on the left pane to the blank
page. (Would be good, expanding room shape a little bit.)
4- Drag and Drop "Space" shape on the Room shape that you've already
insterted.
5- Finally right click on "Space" shape and select "Auto Size".

Bingo!

You may see similar error report screen:

============================================
Microsoft Office Visio has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are
sorry for the iconvenience

Error signature:

fDebug: 0 Offset: 0001eb33
============================================

And some other Visio 2003 installations returns following error with same
action:

---------------------------

This problem does not occur on Visio 2000.

Any idea?

Works fine for me in U.S., 2003, sp-2, both metric and imperial versions.

Are you running any add-ons that you built yourself?

Try re-installing/repairing Visio?

Yes! You're right!

If my "Standarts and Formats" is different from Turkish, there is no
problem. But when I select default stadarts and formats as Turkish from
regional options, issue occurs. I wonder if it depends on seperators or
etc...?

I've found that it is because my customized regional settings were Turkish.
I am currently looking into which one of these settings is effecting. If you
have any ideas please advice.

Any ideas will be more than welcome

Thanks for your time,

Boom! My U.S. version completely dies with Turkish settings. Weird. The
decimal and thousands separators are the same as in German, which works just
fine on my machine.

Anything else "odd" about Turkish numbering, as compared to U.S. or Europe?

I'll send this one in to the folks in Redmond...

It looks like a bug. I think, there is no resolution for now...
Thanks for your time Chris.
