Arranging Elements in the Diagram

You can arrange diagram elements, change or adjust their size, and optimize their arrangement and size.

There are various ways to arrange diagram elements.

Diagram elements can be aligned, moved, zoomed in and zoomed out. Size and layout can also be optimized.

When you move and change the size of nodes, you are supported by displayed horizontal and vertical guide lines which indicate alignment with adjacent nodes. If the space between the elements is the same, this is shown if there are more than two elements.

You can overwrite the configured display options for diagram contents locally for a diagram for presentation purposes.

Note

It is definitely a good idea to work out exactly how to move diagram elements so you can e.g. get your space to work for you so you have plenty of room for new diagram elements.
