Snap | Attach elements to the nearest guideline to make it easier to create an accurate graphic. Enabled by default. Snap and Editing Elements With Snap enabled, an element can be moved by a set number of increments. This is configurable in the Graphic properties, in the Workspace section: Pitch X and Pitch Y. These properties allow you to adjust the distance between the gridlines. When Snap is disabled, you can move the elements pixel-by-pixel instead. This is useful when adjusting Pipe elements, for example. |
Display Grid | Display or hide a pattern of equally spaced horizontal and vertical lines on a graphic to help you align elements symmetrically and precisely. |
Display Guidelines | Display or hide horizontal or vertical guidelines lines dragged onto a graphic to help you align elements symmetrically and precisely. |
