Description mvinca 2008-10-27 19:23:18 UTC

When a state or activity diagram begins to become complex, automatic layout tools (Hierarchical, Orthogonal, Symmetric) do not put enough weight on the 
initial node starting from the top or the left. Instead, the preference seems to place the initial node toward the lower right, which causes the diagram to be 
read backward.

Comment 2 Sergey Petrov 2008-11-20 15:56:48 UTC

in 6.1 there was layout properties(not accessible from activity diagram), in 6.5 it's not so easy, properties support
and most layouts was removed. need to find if smth can be done in next release.
