Assisted layout

Assisted Layout mode helps the user to maintain spacing between the branches and rearrange the Mind Map just by dragging the branches. The branch spacings that are maintained in assisted layout mode are those set in the Branch Spacing settings on the Inspector Panel.

To graft a parent branch, hold down the Option key and drag the branch on to the new parent branch, when a suitable target branch is within range, a green border will appear around the grafted text image indicating the mouse button can be released and the branch will be grafted.

To reorder sibling branches the user does not have to hold down the Option key - just click and drag. This has been designed so that the parent branches can be dragged to new positions on the page as desired, but to graft the Option key must be held for NovaMind to recognize this rather than a simple reposition.
