Move all elements below/above some position up or down

There is a tool in Software Ideas Modeler which allows you to move all elements below/above some position up or down and also move all elements on the left or right from some position to left or right.

This is useful especially in flowcharts and sequence diagrams. You can move group of activation bars (execution occurrences) down or up, or you can move a whole flow in an activity diagram.
