Activating Quick Snap

The Quick snap feature will help you select symbols and macros quicker, and place them more reliably on the desired connections.

Precondition:

You have opened a page, form, plot frame or symbol.

  1. Select the menu item Options > Quick snap to activate or deactivate this option.

Select symbols by using Quick snap

  1. Select the menu items Options > Quick snap, to activate the Quick snap option.
  2. Hold down [Q], before you move the cursor over a symbol.

    The insertion point of the symbol will be used as the snap point, meaning, the cursor will be strongly pulled to the insertion point. This is indicated by a small circle in the graphical editor.

Place symbols by using Quick snap

  1. Select the menu items Options > Quick snap, to activate the Quick snap option.
  2. First select the desired action (for example Insert > Symbol), and press the [Q] key.

    In this case, the activated Quick snap affects the connecting points of the symbols. The connecting points of a symbol then have the tendency to be pulled to an existing or possible connection line. This is indicated by a small double-cross in the graphical editor.



    The Quick snap is deactivated again after the action has been performed.
