Apply layouts to association charts

Layouts can be applied to association charts. You can use a layout to rearrange the chart for better presentation so that relationships are more visible.

Note:

When you apply a layout: Background and hidden chart items are ignored by all association chart layouts but might affect timeline layouts, and corners are removed from all links.

None of the layouts are suitable for charts that contain large entities. For example, boxes - often used to represent organizations - and large OLE objects, for example photographs.

To apply a layout, click the Arrange tab, and then in the Network Layouts group, click the layout.
