UML Designer User's Guide
In addition to manually moving figures on a diagram, you can also use the
Format menu to automatically arrange your figures for readability or
neatness.
-
Select Align Horizontal to arrange two or more selected figures in
a straight horizontal line. You can align the top edges, bottom edges,
or centers of the figures.
-
Select Align Vertical to arrange two or more selected figures in a
straight vertical line. You can align the left edges, right edges, or
centers of the figures.
-
Select Align To Grid to arrange one or more selected figures to the
alignment grid. (The grid is not visible, but it provides a quick way
to align figures to preset rows and columns.)
-
Select Distribute By Edges to arrange three or more figures so the
space between them is equal. You can select to arrange the figures
horizontally (select Left To Right) or vertically (select Top
To Bottom).
-
Select Distribute By Centers to arrange three or more figures so
the space between their centers is equal. You can select to arrange the
figures horizontally (select Left To Right) or vertically (select
Top To Bottom).
You can also interactively align figures by selecting Format from
the Format menu. This opens the Format window, from which you can
select the alignment options you want to apply to the selected figure or
figures.
