Resize object height

Resizes the height of all objects to fit the height of the smallest or largest object based on your settings.

To fit smallest object

Resizes the height of objects to fit the height of the smallest object.

To fit largest object

Resizes the height of objects to fit the height of the largest object.

Columns

Enable column recognition

Groups objects by column based on the maximum configured object spacing and handles them accordingly.

Maximum object spacing

Holds the maximum horizontal object spacing that may separate objects from the column to which they are to belong. Objects at a greater distance are assigned to a different column. You can enter an integer value between 1 and 100.

To fit smallest object

Resizes the width of objects to fit the width of the smallest object.

To fit largest object

Connections

Overlap connections

Places incoming or outgoing connections at objects on top of one another according to your settings.
