Manually I can do a Layout Organic - and I am prompted for "Spacing" - which I set at say 100.

When I try and do this from a CSV import - the organic layour to work i.e. the 1st line below but the spacing does not:

# layout: organic

# spacing: 100

I have tried to find the documentation -

but I am not sure if mxFastOrganicLayout = Organic (above) and I can't tell what "spacing" might be e.g. I have tried

- forceConstant, and Constant

- maxDistanceLimit

I would also like to know how to apply the other parameters in a CSV import.

Yes, Organic = mxFastOrganicLayout and the parameters are as shown in the documentation, eg.

# layout: [{"layout": "mxFastOrganicLayout", "config": {"forceConstant": 160}}]

Try the settings via Arrange, Layout, Apply.
