    Yet another way to perform alignment is by enabling the guidelines with the associated tool on the toolbar (). Two types of guidelines are enabled with this tool:

    • Geometric guidelines (e.g. center of two nodes are in alignment) and
    • Distance guidelines (e.g. a process node is distanced equally from its source and target).
