Placing Elements in the Diagram
« on: March 25, 2011, 04:46:04 pm »
Hi,

Can somebody tell me how to put an element on the diagram without overlapping each other?  I'm trying to import a visio file to EA but I can't figure out how to place it in the diagram they way it's arranged in the Visio diagram.

Someone help, please!!!  :(

If your tried 10x and failed, try again.  We'll never know if we'll get it right on our next try.

The hard way...

YOU need to keep track of where every object is and make sure you're not getting overlap;
If you ALREADY have a viable layout (such as with VISIO), just perform a conversion of coordinates...
