Free Dragging Boxes

OrgPlus automatically positions chart boxes based on the selected branch style. From time to time, automatic positioning of chart boxes may not meet your charting requirements. The Free Form tool  allows you to arbitrarily position boxes within your chart.

To use the Free Form tool:

1        Select the Free Form tool from the Toolbar. (If you do not see the Toolbar, click the Show command in the Toolbar section on the Format tab.)

2        Click and drag any chart box to a new location.

To force a box to be horizontal or vertical constrained, hold down Shift while dragging the box.

3        To control a box’s connection to the chart, right-click a box and select an option from the Connect submenu.

See examples of these options in the table below.
