+ | ====== 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. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:dglux5_wiki:snapping2.png?direct|}}\\ | ||
+ | //Editing a path using snapping to vertexes// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== 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// | ||
