link icon, or in the background of the topology display and graphic window.

Arranging Switches in the Display
You can arrange individual switch icons in the topology display or allow SANbox
Manager to arrange all switch icons for you:
To move an individual switch icon, click and drag the icon to another location
in the graphic window. Links stretch or contract to remain connected.
To arrange all switch icons in the topology display automatically, open the
View menu and select Layout Topology.
By default, the Toggle Auto Layout box in the View menu is checked which
causes SANbox Manager to arrange the icons when you select Layout
Topology.
You can save a custom arrangement, or layout, and restore that layout during a
SANbox Manager session. Begin by arranging the icons, then open the View
menu and select Remember Layout. To restore the saved layout, open the View
menu, uncheck the Toggle Auto Layout box, and select Layout Topology.
