This feature allows for rearranging element symbols on a diagram easily. Pusher moves a group of symbols towards the pushing direction thus creating an empty space for adding new symbols to a diagram.

Magnet works in the opposite way. It moves the selected group of symbols to an empty space on a diagram.

Now you do not need to select separate symbols on a diagram to move them to another location. Just click the Pusher or Magnet button on the diagram palette and move the whole group of symbols toward the direction you need.
