Using these options, the default positions of new branches and elements can be defined. These positions can always be altered in the editor.
Branch
Place between two point nodes:
If the nodes at both sides of a new branch have a point symbol (circle, square, triangle, rhombus), the default presentation of a line can be: following the grid (orthogonal) or following the shortest distance between the two nodes (diagonal). In the case that one or both nodes have a line symbol, the presentation always will be orthogonal.
Orthogonal:
Diagonal:
Element
Place at point node:
If the node has a point symbol, the default presentation of an element can be: following the grid (horizontal or vertical) or diagonal. If the node has a line symbol, the presentation always will be orthogonal.
Horizontal, vertical and diagonal:
Place text when at line node:
If the node has a line symbol, the default element text position can be: at the stalk of the element symbol or at the symbol itself. If the node has a point symbol, the default position will always be at the symbol itself.
At the stalk and at the symbol:
