Hello, my teams works on a BPMN process and we would like to have some standardized distances between tasks, gateways, events. We do not want to manually do it by counting grid dots. Is there any way this can be done on “one click” or by adding some plugin? So far, I have not come to an answer.
What I want is some “format code option”, just for Modeler 
What exactly do you seek?
For the later, the modeler supports this via auto place, which is even adaptive to your modeling style:
@nikku That is okay for the start. But once you start making more complex diagram and adding tasks in between of previous tasks starts the mess.
So, yes I would like a formatter that ensures diagram is using same fixed distance between elements. Is there something that can be used for this?
The automatic formatter could be something we offer in the future.
Cf. auto-layout, see if this yields good results for you, and report back.
I further suggest you to create a feature request on the topic, and clearly layout your case (what exactly do you expect, in which situation). I checked and did not find and prior user feedback we got on this topic. An idea to explore, for sure, if we know what we want to accomplish.
@nikku Thanks, an interesting project. But it gives so many errors and I believe this is some POC for light use cases. The diagram itself is unrecognizable.
Only thing what I need are fixed distances between current elements.
Okay, I will see if it’s worth creating a request for this one. Thanks anways.
