Tool auto-spacing problem

G1

Hello,

 

Does anyone know how to stop Alteryx from auto-spacing tools on the canvas? I keep my tools close-together so I can see more of the workflow on-screen, but often adding in a new tool to the middle of a workflow results in Alteryx re-spacing all of the tools...which is annoying.

 

Thanks! 

Pics + explanations below:

 

This is how Alteryx spaces out tools. It did this automatically after I added a new tool to the middle of my workflow:

This is how I prefer to space my tools....i can see many more on-screen!

There is no way to turn that off that I know of or have found.  I feel your pain though, I keep things pretty close together as well.

There's an existing Product Idea that you star to show support to get it added to the product.
