[Feature Request] Auto Arrange Nodes

[CryShader (Svinopas)]

Hi. Blueprints visual scripting system is freaking awesome. It allows lighting-fast prototyping without coders help.

However after using it for several years I really miss nodes auto arrangement. Especially this is noticeable on complex graphs. Googling this problem didn’t help. Few similar questions were asked here with no luck:

• Auto arranging blueprint nodes 1
• Auto arranging blueprint nodes 2
• Auto arrange material nodes

Some kind of nodes alignment was implemented in UE4, but it’s almost useless:
Align Blueprint Nodes Like A Pro

All it does - is alignes and distributes nodes taking into account their size, not straight wires

This issue was kind of resolved in Blender, Houdini, Nuke and other node-based apps:

• Blender Addon nodewrangler arrange nodes
• Blender Arrange nodes script - 1
• Blender Arrange nodes script - 2

I have written this plugin to that, and it is now open source.

doesnt right clicking a node and clicking straighten connection does that?

[FeiSuZZ]

straighten connection just alter the y position to align nodes, if you select multiple nodes and straighten connection, nodes will overlay each other.
