Operation Manual

Working with Pages 45
For ease of use, dynamic guides always use a candidate system where objects
previously selected, hovered over, or newly created become the focus for
snapping. All other objects can't be snapped to until they are "activated"; the last
several "activated" objects are included in each snapping operation.
If snapping to vertices isn't needed, perhaps during less technical design, you can
switch the option off. Dynamic guides can also be switched off entirely if
required.
To disable dynamic guides and snapping to vertices:
1. Click the down arrow on the Snapping button (Standard
toolbar) and select Options....
2. From the dialog, uncheck Dynamic guides or just Snap to Vertex.
To temporarily disable dynamic snapping, hold down the Alt key
while moving an object for alignment.
Viewing pages
The HintLine toolbar at the bottom of
the screen displays the current page
number and provides a number of
controls to let you navigate around
your pages.
As an alternative, the
Pages tab shows your
pages as thumbnails,
which when selected,
will display that page in
your workspace.
Once you've got a page in view, you can use the scrollbars at the right and
bottom of the main window to move the page and pasteboard with respect to the
main window. As you drag objects to the edge of the screen the scroll bars adjust
automatically as the object is kept in view.
