Move all elements below/above some position up or down
Software Ideas Modeler includes a tool that allows you to move all elements below or above a specific position up or down. Similarly, you can move all elements to the left or right of a specific position left or right.
This feature is particularly useful in flowcharts and sequence diagrams. You can move groups of activation bars (execution occurrences) up or down or shift an entire flow in an activity diagram. This flexibility makes it easier to adjust and optimize the layout of your diagrams without having to reposition each element manually.
