Adjusting caption's position and angle

For shapes like event and gateway, their names are put outside and below the shape, which may overlap with outgoing sequence or message flow, making the name hard to read. To solve this problem, you can choose to place the caption elsewhere. Furthermore, you can rotate the caption to make it easier to read in print out.

To set the position and angle of start, intermediate or end event, or gateway:

1. Right click on the shape and select Presentation Options > Caption Placement... from the popup menu.
