Error description
SA import BPMN2 diagram without a clear start event produces a diagram with scrambled layout. Workaround: Add an unambiguous start-event to the diagram, then Launch menu command 'Format | Auto-Arrange Left to Right' to fix up the diagram layout.
Local fix
Problem summary
From looking at the diagram prior to launching Auto-Arrange, it is clear that the event named "Receive LOB System Account Data" is intended to be the diagram's start-event. However, it was rendered ambiguous by an incoming Message Flow line. Auto-Arrange expects a true start-event to have only outgoing flows and zero incoming flows.
Problem conclusion
We proposed that the client submit an RFE asking for a change to Auto-Arrange and suggesting a means that would allow Auto-Arrange to treat "Receive LOB System Account Data" as a true start-event in spite of its incoming Message Flow line.
Temporary fix
An easy workaround is to draw one extra unambiguous Start-Event symbol to the left of "Receive LOB System Account Data" and then draw a Flow line from one to the other.
