Re: query on layout of elements in model diagram

Hi Taha,

we are currently working to improve the Arrange -> Autolayout feature. Until that is completed you will have to manually arrange the tables.

Best way to start is to call the current Arrange -> Autolayout several times. At some point, when the layout looks somewhat usable, start dragging the tables with the normal Pointer Cursor and try to arrange the figures in a nicer way.

It helps to zoom out a bit, e.g. to 60%. Then you have a better overview of your model.


Also, you can start creating several independent diagrams. Each diagram can be used to display a certain part of the model. A single table can be placed on several diagrams. Just drag it from the Catalog Palette on the right.

Hope that helps until we have an improved auto-layout feature.

Mike
