+====== Snapping ======
+Snapping helps you precisely place components, widgets, shapes, and paths.
+When snapping is enabled:
+  * Guidelines appear when the item that you are dragging is aligned to other items.
+  * When dragging items, it is easier to place them in aligned positions.
+You can disable snapping if it prevents you from placing items where you want them.
+----
+===== Snapping to Components =====
+Snapping to components helps you place components in relationship to one another.
+To enable or disable snapping to components:
+  * Choose **View** > **Snapping** > **Snapping to Components**
+{{:dglux5_wiki:snapping.png?direct|}}\\
+//Placing an image using snapping to components//
+----
+===== Snapping to Vertexes =====
+Snapping to vertexes helps you precisely place paths. It works for paths created with the {{:dglux5_wiki:177_icn-tool-path.png?nolink|}} [[dglux5_wiki:workspace_and_workflow:panels_and_menus:tools_panel|Path]] tool and the {{:dglux5_wiki:179_icn-tool-polyline.png?nolink|}} [[dglux5_wiki:workspace_and_workflow:panels_and_menus:tools_panel|Polyline]] tool.
+To use snapping to vertexes:
+  - Enable **View** > **Snapping** > **Snapping to Vertexes**.
+  - Create two paths using the {{:dglux5_wiki:177_icn-tool-path.png?nolink|}} [[dglux5_wiki:workspace_and_workflow:panels_and_menus:tools_panel|Path]] tool.
+  - Change to the {{:dglux5_wiki:191_icn-tool-select-path.png?nolink|}} [[dglux5_wiki:workspace_and_workflow:panels_and_menus:tools_panel|Path Selection]] tool.
+  - Drag a point from one of the paths. The point will snap to other points in both paths.

+===== Snapping in Dataflow =====
+Snapping in the dataflow helps you place dataflow blocks.
+To enable or disable snapping in the dataflow:
+  * Choose **View** > **Snapping** > **Snapping in Dataflow**
+{{:dglux5_wiki:snapping3.png?direct|}}\\
+//Arranging dataflow blocks using snapping//
