Layout options dialog

Specifies the values based on which models are designed.

Top margin

Specifies the distance to the top margin of the modeling area in millimeters.

Left margin

Specifies the distance to the left margin of the modeling area in millimeters.

Horizontal item spacing

Specifies the horizontal distance in millimeters that the items in the model should have next to each other after the layout process and sets the default horizontal distance for Guided Modeling and Smart Modeling.

Vertical item spacing

Specifies the vertical distance in millimeters that the items in the model should have from each other after the layout process and sets the default vertical distance for Guided Modeling and Smart Modeling.

Layout orientation

Specifies the model orientation, either vertical or horizontal.

Arrange satellites

Specifies the arrangement of satellites, that is, of the objects that are assigned to structurally relevant objects. When arranging satellites, different connection types are also included. Satellites that are connected to an object via the same connection type will be grouped together in one space.

Horizontally

The satellites are arranged from left to right. Satellites that are linked with the structurally relevant object by the same connection type are placed directly next to one another.

Quadratic

Satellites are arranged inside a square if possible. Satellites that are linked with the structurally relevant object by the same connection type are grouped together within a common space.

Vertically

The satellites are arranged from top to bottom. Satellites that are linked with the structurally relevant object by the same connection type are placed directly beneath one another.

Minimize connection anchor points

Reduces the number of anchor points in the layout. If you use the grid at the same time, you can obtain the effect of superimposing several outgoing or incoming connections.

Use as default

When you start laying out models of this type, the settings you specify here will be reused and you will not have to reenter them.
