the Schematic View window.
Snap to Grid—When this is on, all moved entities
and children of those entities will snap their upper
left corners to the nearest grid point. Entities not
snapped to a grid point when snap is enabled will
not snap until they are subsequently moved.
Grid Spacing:—Sets the spacing units of the
Schematic View grid. This uses the s tandard that
entities are 20 grid units high and 100 grid units
long.
Arrange Method g roup
Arranging always takes place within the confines
of the positive X and negative Y space which is
delineated by the dark er grid lines.
Stack ed—When this is turned on, arr anging via
Always Arrange, Arrange Children or Arrange
Selected will result in the hierarchies being stacked
belowawidththatisdeterminedbytheextentsof
the highest entities in the v iew.
Hori zontal—When this is turned on arranging
using Always Arrange, Arrange Children or
Arrange Selected will result in the hierarchies
being distributed along and below the y=0 line.
Arranging always takes place within the confines
of the positive X and negative Y space.
Vertical—When this is turned on arranging using
Always Arrange, Arrange Children or Arrange
Selected will result in the hierarchies being
distributedalongandtotherightofthex=0line.
Arranging always takes place within the confines
of the positive X and negative Y space.
Sync Selection g roup
Viewports—When this is chosen, node entities
selected in Schematic View will have their
corresponding nodes selected in the viewports.
Likewise, nodes selected in the viewports will have
their corresponding entities selected in Schematic
View .
Ever y thi ng—When this is chosen, all entities
selected in Schematic View will have thei r
corresponding entities selected in the appr opriate
places in the interface, g iven that those places
are open. For instance, selecting a material in
SchematicViewwillselectitinthematerialeditor
if it is open and the material is present, selecting
amodifierinSchematicViewwillselectitinthe
stack is the Modify panel is open. Likewise, entities
selected in the scene will have their corresponding
entities selected in Schematic View.
None—When this is chosen, changes in the
viewport selection do not affect the Schematic
View display, and selection changes in the
SchematicViewdisplaydonotaffecttheviewport
selection.
Background Image group
Show Image—When on, the background bitmap
(ifoneischosen)isdisplayed.Whenoff,itisnot
displayed.
By default, the background image displays at
screen resolution at the current zoom factor of
Schematic View.
Lock Zoom/Pan—When this is turned on, zooming
and panning resizes the background image
accordingly. When turned off, the bitmap
will remain or revert to actual pixels at screen
resolution.
File button—Click to cho ose an image file for the
background of Schematic V iew.
When no background image has been chosen,
this button displays “None.” If an image has been
chosen,itshowsthenameofthebitmapfile.
