The spacing between objects borders was added in Umbrello 1.5.3 (it was called alignment type distribute horizontally/vertically, see http://bugs.kde.org/67058#c8). Spacing between objects centroids wasn't added. However, if this means space the center of the objects at the same distance one from each other, I can't see the benefit of it :) For example: Before After spacing by centers +-----+ +-----+ | * | | * | +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ | | | | | | | | | * | | * | | | | | | | | | +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ | * | +-----+ +-----+ | * | +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ | * | | * | +-----+ +-----+ As you can see, it can lead to overlapping objects easily. Using spacing between object borders this won't happen. So, could you please show an example where spacing between centers can be useful? :) If you want to evenly distribute life lines in a seq diagram, for example. By using borders you'd get: <-> <-> +---+ +-------+ +-----------+ +---+ +-------+ +-----------+ | | | | | | <-------> <-----------> If class boxes are different in size to fit class/object names, lifelines will not be equally spaced. |
