Stay-on-Grid
Stay-on-grid controls the method of object placement.
When Stay-on-Grid is enabled, the objects are forced onto
grid when placed. We recommend that you enable this so
that electrical connections are made correctly.
Enabling or disabling stay-on-grid
1 From the Options menu, select Display Options.
2 Select or clear the Stay-on-Grid check box to enable or
disable Stay-on-Grid.
3 Click OK.
Snap-to-Grid
Snap-to-grid controls the movement of the object while
being moved for placement when Stay-on-Grid is
enabled. If Snap-to-Grid and Stay-on-Grid are both
enabled, movement during object placement is in
increments equal to the current grid spacing. If
Snap-to-Grid is not selected, the object moves smoothly.
Enabling or disabling snap-to-grid
1 From the Options menu, select Display Options.
2 Select or clear the Snap-to-Grid check box to enable or
disable snap-to-grid.
3 Click OK.
