In order to facilitate the layout set up of elements on diagrams, some Diagram facilities exist:
If you select at least two elements, you can align them on the right, middle, left, top...
This can also be achieved on edge labels, however for it to work, you need to select the labels (and not the edges)
If you select at least 3 elements, you can distribute them vertically, horizontally (i.e ensure that there is a gap of the same size between each element in the chosen direction).
This can also be achieved on edge labels, however for it to work, you need to select the labels (and not the edges)
The goal of this feature is to assist user to set edge selection vertical or horizontal in order to help exchange layout. If the edge is connected to "ports", the "port" is moved too.'' To do this, it is recommended to layout all connected ports first, then use the right-to-left multiple selection.
This feature aims to move the group {edge, labels, ports} in a single operation when using the F3 shortcut and drag/move the edge.
Moreover, by selecting multiple edges with ports and pressing F3 key, you can move them simultaneously:

To quickly copy paste Notes on a diagram, click on CTRL and move the Notes: new Notes are created.
On a sequence diagram, instead of moving vertically each graphical element in order to have more space, it is possible to do it more easily by using the combination:
