Folks,
I have appended my current configuration to the end of this message.
Is there any way to align and distribute graphic objects in MyUML
diagrams?Thank you for any time and consideration.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exeEd if you just mean layout, no there isn’t. But there is the UML > Auto Layout command that uses quite advanced layout algorithms to give you really nice layouts in most all situations.
I have been trying to use the auto layout option in Use Case and Activity diagrams. Unfortunatly the option is unavailable (greyed out) in the UML menu. Is this feature unavailable in these diagram types?
cjlyth,
Unfortunately the auto-layout is only available from the class diagram view at this time. I have filed an enhancement to extend it optionally to the other views.I just tried the Autolayout feature. I’m glad I saved my work before I did!!!
Neat layout, but all the implied information related to class placement was lost. By that I mean that we typically develop models with closely or logically related concepts next to each other. That gives us additional information that is over and above that contained within each individual class. When autolayout takes over, it has no knowledge of the semantics of this placement, since there are none.
Personally, I’d rather you put the effort into alignment, snap, copy-paste and other such tools. Just my HO.
