parent entity
Down A r r ow—Expands the next child
entity down from the entity that the arrow springs
from.
Overlap—Schematic View will prevent
newly visible nodes from overlapping with existing
nodes. This applies to free mode: make an object,
free it, make another object and it will fall on top
but to the r ight of the original object so both c a n
be accessed and moved.
Instances—S chem atic View will bold the text of
instanced entities, for nodes this will show up on

Box02 and Box03 are instances.
