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 project. You have opened an editor such as the graphical editor, the plot frame editor, etc.
- Click the button
(Quick snap on / off) in the status bar to activate the quick snap or deactivate it again.
Select symbols by using Quick snap
- Click the button (Quick snap on / off) in the status bar to activate the quick snap.
- 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
- Click the button (Quick snap on / off) in the status bar to activate the quick snap.
- First select the desired action (for example Insert center > Breadcrumb trail Home > Symbols), and then 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.
