You can align two or more shapes with one another. You can click and drag your cursor across multiple shapes to select them or you can press Shift on the keyboard and click on the shapes you want to align. The shape that the other selected shape(s) will align with is the shape with the darkest selection border, indicating the primary shape of the selection. In the example below, the bottom shape is the shape that the top shape will be aligned with.

In the Design ribbon toolbar, you can select the following options:

Additionally, you can use the Horizontal and Vertical buttons to align the queue.

When Horizontal is clicked, the first queue is put in a row. Any rows that have a transition from the first queue are placed in the next row. The third tier queues are placed in the third row and so on.

When Vertical is clicked, the first queue is put in a column. Any rows that have a transition from the first queue are placed in the next column. The third tier queues are placed in the third column and so on.
