    Hi @HPA - Sam Forster 

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.    

    Thank you for reaching out to us about the Size & Position pane in Visio.  I understand how important this feature is for precise shape adjustments. 

    These are a few steps you can do: 

    1. Open your Visio drawing. 
    2. Go to the View tab on the ribbon. 
    3. In the Show group, select Task Panes, then choose Size & Position from the list.   If you don’t see it right away, click the drop-down arrow under Task Panes to find it.
