Automatically Arranging Modeling Elements
The Business Process Designer provides standard tools to automatically align the modeling elements you select. You can also change the style of the lines that link modeling components together and specify grid options.
You can choose two different styles for the links in a Business Process, direct linking (diagonal) or indirect linking (orthogonal). The style you choose applies to all links in a model and the style is applied automatically.
The default setting is direct linking, which links modeling elements using the most direct line between two modeling elements and using diagonal lines when connecting elements that are not precisely aligned. Indirect linking uses only horizontal and vertical lines with right angles for elements that are not aligned.
The link style changes from diagonal to orthogonal or from orthogonal to diagonal.
You can change grid properties in the Properties dialog box of the Business Process or you can right-click in the Business Process Designer, which displays the grid options context menu. This section describes how to change grid options from the Business Process Designer.
A context menu appears.
The Edit Grid Properties dialog box appears.
In order to clarify the display of Business Process modeling elements, you can automatically align and distribute the elements by selecting Align or Distribute from the toolbar.
The options are described in Aligning and Distributing Modeling Elements.

In order to save time and effort, you can automatically arrange the modeling elements on the Business Process Designer canvas. The Auto Layout feature provides several options for arranging modeling elements for clear display.
The Auto Layout dialog box appears.
The following tables describe the different options available for arranging modeling elements. Default values are indicated with bold text.
