Setting Snap To Object

When adding or modifying a comment graphic, you can position it to automatically “Snap To” alignment with another graphic on a diagram.

Note

Snap To Object is always activated by default. You can deactivate it should you wish to position objects close together, but not touching. The Snap To Object setting only affects comment graphics.

Procedure

With the diagram open, in the menu, press Space Bar and enter Snap to Object.

Results

Comment graphics become aligned accordingly on the diagram.

The following objects may be snapped to:

• Rectangle — markers for center, corner mid-point of edge, also snaps to any other point on edge.

• Circle — marker for center, top, bottom, left and right, also snaps to any point on circumference.

• Line — markers for start, end or mid-point of segment, also snaps to any point on edge.

• Polygon — markers for start, end or mid-point of segment, also snaps to any point on edge.

• Arc — markers for start, end of mid-point, also snaps to any point on arc.

• Curve — markers for the grip points, no snapping to the curve itself. Note Snap to Object overrides Snap to Grid except for electrical objects. In this case Snap to Grid settings are also retained.
