Spacing Blocks

Blocks that are evenly spaced are easier to read. When a diagram
becomes cluttered and blocks overlap, it is time to space the blocks so you
can keep track of what you are doing.

To space blocks of an entire diagram appearing in the Diagram Window:

1. From the menu bar, select Edit. The Edit menu appears.

2. Choose Select All. The entire diagram is selected.

3. From the menu bar, select Edit. The Edit menu appears.

4. Select Space Blocks.

5. Click your left mouse button in another area. The diagram selection is

cleared and the blocks are uniformly spaced.
