Is there a way to tell Visual Studio 2005 to not rearrange your SSIS package components when you close and re-open the .dtsx? VS2005 always moves my components around in the Control Flow tab and adjusts the flow pointers to seemingly random positions and it gets quite irritating. Anyone know the setting (if any) to stop this?

Thanks in advance!

A: 

SSIS doesn't re-arrange my control flows or data flows.

I either do it manually or use the auto-layout, but it never does them without me initiating a move.

The only odd thing it does is its choice of placement of a component during a paste operation.

Weird...Mine will alter where the components are placed and sometimes even the size of the box.

The zoom level DOES affect the behavior of the autosize operation.

This is true, the zoom level does affect the pointer layout behavior. My problem is that the lines are all over and make weird angles when I close and restart the package.

I also don't have any problems with SSIS re-arranging my objects. I've been using SSIS since 2005 with teams of 3-6 users without this kind of problem.Please note this does not apply to packages downloaded from the msdb database. These packages always have funky layouts.

I found a solution to my problem. It must have been something with the install because when I reinstalled 2005 it didn't re-arrange or resize any of my layouts regardless of what components were on the screen (i.e., a dataflow or sequence container).
