Nudging symbols

The "nudge" operations in the Nudge toolbar (see Figure 58) allow you to slightly move selected symbols of an activity diagram. The Nudge toolbar becomes active when a symbol is selected in the activity diagram.

To control finer movement of symbols:

  1. Click the symbol that you want to move.
  2. While holding down the Shift key, select the other symbols or groups of symbols that you want to move.
  3. On the Nudge tool bar, click the Nudge Up, Nudge Down, Nudge Left, or Nudge Right button.

    By default, these commands move the selected components in the specified direction by one pixel unit. You hold down the SHIFT key at the same time to move the selected components by five pixel units.
