	We are creating a set of Nodes and Links programmatically, which we are currently using 'anneal' layout to arrange with minimum overlaps etc. We find that when the diagram is displayed the Nodes can not be selected and moved. Is it possible to use the layout to get an 'initial' arrangement then allow Users to select and move Nodes if required? This is using the latest download of JDiagram, but currently in trial mode.

	Letting users select and move nodes is the default behavior. If nodes are not movable in your application, please check if the Behavior property of DiagramView isn't set to something like DoNothing or SelectOnly, and the Locked property of nodes isn't set to true. Regards, Slavcho Mindfusion

	Thank you - yes DiagramView was being set to 'DoNothing' - that's what you get for taking code from a report to make something 'live'! I've got it all working now.
