SSIS 2012 Moving and Resizing tips

when I was working with SSDT-BI VS2012, I was often disappointed the GUI. Sometimes, I need to move object around or resize but the object will simply fly off to the remote area… blog from andy shed some useful hints

also some workaround

 

1. to realign task to the top

Create an empty task (doesnt matter) in the top left corner - then zoom out of ure project .. ctrl+click the new task, and the next one down - then go to format - remove - vertical spacing and it will lock everything back to the  top

2. To move object around, ctrl+direction Arrow, it’s slow but working

3. to resize an object, alt+direction Arrow

 

4. Use format –> auto Layout –> diagram will bring everything back but your object size and annotation will be totally screwed up.This is usually the last resort, strongly no recommended!!
