Layout for Activity diagrams
« on: March 20, 2013, 08:50:13 am »
Per default all diagrams are set to layout style "bottom up". But activity diagrams are usually top down. And often UC diagrams are left to right (or also top down).

The auto-layout is disabled for these diagrams. But you can use the "Layout selected elements". First it would make sense to enable the layout button as 1) you can do it anyway using the context menu and 2) in most cases the layout gives a good result for a first shot.

Further it would make sense to either change the default layout direction for the named diagrams (and possibly others?) or - even better - to give it a default setting in the options so you can change it globally.

Thoughts?
