You've been tweaking, skewing, resizing and rotating the same Shape for half an hour now and although you are not yet satisfied, you don't want to go back and Undo all steps to reset the shape to its initial state?  Then try using the command Arrange > Clear Transformations instead.

  • Well, six years and 3 months later isn't the worst time to ask a question about something...

    I have been searching for this and cannot see it anywhere (although it feels like there was a way I just forgot).

    How do we do the opposite? Make the current shape condition the new base? It's already curved, so convert to curves does not work. It has cut outs, so Shaping - Weld is not an option.

    So, was there a way? Can be VBA as well (actually that's better).
