# Help with tikzcd

So Im having a little problem with a tikzcd-figure in my Thesis. It looks very 'squeezed' - if you understand. Can anyone help? I can simply not get it to look right

$\begin{tikzcd}[row sep=huge, column sep=small] & Finanspolitisk\,disciplin \arrow[dash]{dr}{[Den\,liberale\,model]} \\ Indkomstlighed \arrow[dash]{ur}{[Den\,konservative\,model]} \arrow[dash]{rr}{[Den\,skandinaviske\,model]} && Besk\text{æ}ftigelsesv\text{æ}kst \end{tikzcd}$}


You want textual cells and labels, so you can first set math mode=false; you can also set all arrows to dashes and make the labels smaller.

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{tikz-cd}

\begin{document}

$\begin{tikzcd}[ math mode=false, labels={font=\scriptsize}, row sep=huge, column sep=small, arrows=dash, ] & Finanspolitisk disciplin \arrow[dr,"{[Den liberale model]}"] \\ Indkomstlighed \arrow[ur,"{[Den konservative model]}"] \arrow[rr,"{[Den skandinaviske model]}"] && Beskæftigelsesvækst \end{tikzcd}$

\end{document}


The braces are necessary in order not to confuse the parser.

You can make it “symmetric”, with a bit more work.

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{tikz-cd}

\begin{document}

$\begin{tikzcd}[ math mode=false, labels={font=\scriptsize}, row sep=huge, column sep={0em,between borders}, arrows=dash, ] & Finanspolitisk disciplin \arrow[dr,"{[Den liberale model]}"] \\ Indkomstlighed \arrow[ur,"{[Den konservative model]}"] \arrow[rr,"{[Den skandinaviske model]}"] && Beskæftigelsesvækst \end{tikzcd}$

\end{document}


Like this?

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{tikz-cd}

\begin{document}

$\begin{tikzcd}[row sep=huge, column sep=small] & \text{Finanspolitisk\,disciplin} \arrow[dash]{dr}{[\text{Den liberale model}]} \\ \text{Indkomstlighed} \arrow[dash]{ur}{[\text{Den konservative model}]} \arrow[dash]{rr}{[\text{Den\,skandinaviske\,model}]} && \text{Beskæftigelsesvækst} \end{tikzcd}$

\end{document}
