James:
You are correct, although the ruleset is not going to be changed very often, a
manual layout would be helpful.
We are building a large ruleset in order to have in a single workspace all
events that need attention, the rest should be resolved by the ruleset once
cleared.

No, there is not. The editor reads in the stored ruleset file and builds an
iconic representation of it in the workspace. The layout algorithm is
optimized to display the contents of the ruleset in a small amount of space so
that you have a lot of room to add things, by drag and drop from the templates.
When you edit an existing ruleset, and you click and hold the middle mouse
button to drag an existing icon over to a new location so that you can work on
it, that positioning is just temporary, for the life of the edit session . It
is not a permanent part of the ruleset file which gets stored. Only the
contents of what you have built are stored. It would take a very large
re-design of the facility to store and use that temporary positioning as a
permanent thing. Not only would the editor have to be changed, but nvcorrd as
well, since he also reads in the ruleset, and he'd have to be made to skip over
whatever X and Y coordinates were now a part of the file.
But I am curious why this should be such an issue for you. In the seven years
I have been working on NetView, no one has ever asked me that question before.
Most rulesets are built, tested, edited once or twice, tested until they are
shown to work, and that's it. Once they work, there is little left to do. You
must be building something very large or very complex for this issue to a be a
real problem. Or am I missing something?

Hi All, is there any way to disable the auto layout in the ruleset editor?
It is really annoying that every time we open the ruleset to edit it the
manually, the ruleset editor replaces the manually set by another one created
by its own.
I am running 7.1.4 FP2 on Solaris 8.
