Moving Tools And Organizing The Flow

Larger flows can become disorganized and difficult to understand so several techniques for organizing the flow exist to assist.

Moving tools with the mouse

To move a tool, simply left click on a tool and drag it to its new position in the flow. All currently selected tools will be moved.

Lining Up Tools

Right-click on an empty section of the flow to display the flow's context menu. Choose Line Up from this menu to cause all of the tools to line up vertically and horizontally.

To line up only the currently selected tools, right-click on one of the tools and select Line Up from the menu. Tools that are not currently selected will be left as they are.

Align To Grid

Tools can snap to an invisible grid as they are positioned on the flow. Enabling the Arrange Tools>To Grid option in the flow's context menu will enable this feature. As tools are positioned in the flow, a faint rectangle will indicate to where that tool will snap when the tool is released.

To set the Arrange Tool>To Grid option as the default for new compositions, set the Preferences>General>Arrange To Grid checkbox to On.
