Using the Automated Layout Features

The context menu available in the Diagram view provides access to the automated layout optimization features.

The available layout features for diagrams are as follows:

• Layout > Layout sets the layout of all elements according to the default layout style, which is vertically or horizontally hierarchical.
• Layout > Layout and Optimize Size works the same as Layout, except diagram elements are resized to their actual size.
• Layout > Layout for Printing sets the layout of all the elements so that they all fall within the boundaries of the print page size and will do its best not to overlap elements onto different pages (with very large elements this may be impossible to do). You can set up the page size and margins through Window > Preferences > Together > Modeling > Print.

Elements on a diagram have the following Layout option:

Optimize size enlarges or shrinks the element to the optimal size, leaving enough space for its label and any sub-elements it may contain.

NB: After using any of the layout options, using Edit > Undo will revert the diagram back to its previous layout.
