Snapping

  • Icons: tollbar for snapping features

  • Shortcuts: Shift+G, Shift+O, Shift+L, Shift+D, Shift+N, Shift+I

Description

In all drawing modes which modify the design (like BoxMode, PolygonMode, CopyMode, etc.), the exact cursor location will snap to nearby points. This will ensure an exact point is specified by the mouse. How the snapping works can be adjusted via the main menu, a tool bar, or by using shortcuts. There are six different kinds of snapping:

Snapping can be turn activated on an individual basis. By default, after starting LayoutEditor, only SnapGrid is activated. Snapping is not active in non-modifying modes like PointSelectMode or ZoomMode.
