Moving Diagram Objects

to the Grid

This topic explains how to move objects that are off the diagram grid onto the grid.

Other design systems (for example, VeSys Classic) may not use a constrained grid in diagram windows. When migrating data from such a system to Capital Systems Modeler, diagram objects may be placed off grid. A Move To Grid action is therefore available to fix this.

Prerequisites

• In the clientprops.xml in the config directory of your installation, edit the value of to be yes and restart Capital Systems Modeler. If you do not do this, the Move To Grid action will not be visible.

Procedure

In the diagram, select the objects that you want to move to the grid, press Space Bar and enter Move To Grid.

Results

• For each selected object: Ports snap to the grid.

Object boundaries snap to the grid.

• For each selected signal: The start and end points of each segment snap to the grid.
