Line Autolayout

Toad Data Modeler provides you with an useful tool that is capable of automatically organizing your lines in your model diagram.

How to use Line Autolayout

  1. On workspace select lines which you want to organize (or don't select any to organize all lines).
  2. Go to Layout Menu | Line Autolayout or click on Layout Toolbar.

  3. Line Autolayout dialog displays. You can now customize its settings.

Option Description
Speed Settings

Line Autolayout function tries to find the most optimal result from a set generated number of line variations. Generally, the more variants, the better the result and the more time Line Autolayout takes.

You can select the Simple option and use the slider to set the number of generated variations. Or select the Custom option and enter the maximum number of calculated variants manually.

Note that the bigger the number of variants and shapes on workspace is, the more time the process takes.

Minimal Distance Between Lines

Determines the distance between lines on a shape edge.

Cross Lines When checked, variants where lines are crossed are preferred.
Straight Lines When checked, variants where lines are straight are preferred.

Line Autolayout settings

Go to Settings Menu | Options | Graphics | Autolayout tab.

In Lines | Autolayout section you can define the default settings of Line Autolayout function.
