I installed the Flowable Designer, but diagram autolayout never runs. Is there a way to manually invoke it?

FYI. My processes are NOT in a Flowable Project. They are in a different, existing project. If that is the problem, is there a way to change the project to pick up that functionality?

It appears the autolayout feature doesn’t work if you have swimlanes in your model. That’s really too bad. Are there any other limitations? Can the documentation be updated to mention these limitations.
