HOW TO DRAW UML DIAGRAMS (cont'd)


Arranging Objects
You can arrange objects on your page by selecting them and moving them with the mouse. For finer adjustments you can use the arrow keys to nudge the object or objects into place. The Design tab provides a variety of helpful commands that help you position your objects better.

For example, to align a number of class objects to each other, first, select the objects you want to arrange. Do this by clicking on each object in turn (while holding down the Shift key).

Arranging Objects


The last object you click has black selection handles and is called the Target Object. When you use the Align or Make Same Size commands, all the selected objects will be aligned or sized to match the target object.
