Original Target Release: coke_dev; Suggested Target Milestone : 5.5 Description: -------------------------------- Currently, you have to manually align and distribute objects. It would be a nice option to have a couple of toolbar icons to align the objects, such as align bottom, align right, align center to page, distribute bottom, distribute spacing vertically, etc. etc. etc. Or maybe a grid and a snap to grid option.
updating priority, there was P2 rfe for previous release, additional way to get good result(of cause not easiest) is to add possibility to enter element sizes and positions in elent properties, There was match sizes tool in initial rewuest also.
*** Issue 84365 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
Added [55cat] to track on dashboard, and myself to CC (due duplicate issue).
more special case for sequence diagram - issue 95543
- first checkin of alignment tools (no distribution tools yet): left, right, center (horiz/vert), top, bottom. Uses first selected element as the reference point. - align tools are accessible via right click context menu (toolbar buttons are planned)
Added distribution functionality: distribute horizontally to Left Edge, Center, and Right Edge; and distribute vertically to Top Edge, Center and Bottom Edge. Actions are accessible via right mouse click context menu. Distribute submenu has the 6 distribute actions. Toolbar buttons should be added for these and still need A11Y functionality.
The alignment and distribution tools are available via the context menu for the selected elements on a diagram so this feature is "fixed". The toolbar buttons work has been put in its own issue 98849.
initial issue say about toolbar buttons which is more common way to implement the functionality second comment say about match size tool also, but I can file separate enhancement
ok, found issue 98849
let this one be fixed
