2. In the Structure area, examine the relationship between the two and if necessary, edit their positions in the Structure
area.
3. If, in the object/group of the two that is lower in the Structure area hierarchy, the Snap to previous object property
is already selected and the proper offset set, proceed to step 6.
4. Select the object/group that is lower in the Structure area hierarchy. This is the object/group PlanetPress Design
moves when it performs the snap.
The Object Inspector displays the properties of that object/group.
5. In the Object Inspector, set the following snapping points properties. If you have set the Object Inspector to use
groups, all of these properties appear in the Snapping points group.
l Set Snap to previous object to True. If an object/group that precedes it in the Structure area has its Set
snapping point property set, PlanetPress Design snaps this object/group to it.
l Set Snapping point before to the snapping point you want this object/group to use when it snaps to an
object/group that precedes it in the Structure area (Top left, Top middle, Top right, for example).
l Set Snapping point horizontal offset to the horizontal offset you want to use for the snapping point. This is
useful when you want a horizontal offset between this object/group and the one to which you are snapping it.
Units are as set in the User Options dialog box.
l Set Snapping point vertical offset to the vertical offset you want to use for the snapping point. This is use-
ful when you want a vertical offset between this object/group and the one to which you are snapping it.
If, in the object/group of the two that is higher in the Structure area hierarchy, the Set snapping point prop-
erty is already selected, you have completed this procedure. Otherwise, proceed to step 6.
6. Select the object/group that is higher in the Structure area hierarchy.
7. In the Object Inspector, set the following snapping points properties for this object/group:
l Set Snapping point after to the snapping point you want this object/group to use for all objects/groups that
snap to it.
l Set Snapping point after to True.
To unsnap one object or group from another using the properties dialog box:
1. In the Structure area or the Page area, double-click that object or group to display the properties dialog box for the
object/group (of the two snapped together) that is lower in the Structure area hierarchy. This is the object/group Plan-
etPress Design moved when it performed the snap.
2. In the properties dialog box, click Snapping points.
3. Clear Set snapping point before.
4. In the properties dialog box, click OK.
If the object/group you just unsnapped was not the only one snapped to the other object/group, you have completed
this procedure. Otherwise, proceed to step 5 to clear the Set snapping point property of the second of the two
objects/groups.
5. In the Structure area or the Page area, double-click that object or group to display the properties dialog box for the sec-
ond object/group. Of the two objects that were snapped together, it is the one higher in the Structure area hierarchy.
6. In the properties dialog box, click Snapping points.
7. Clear Set snapping point.
8. In the properties dialog box, click OK.
To unsnap one object or group from another using the Object Inspector:
1. Select the object/group that is lower in the Structure area hierarchy. This is the object/group PlanetPress Design
moved when it performed the snap.
2. In the Object Inspector, set the Snap to previous objectproperty to False.
If the object/group you just unsnapped was not the only one snapped to the other object/group, you have completed
this procedure. Otherwise, proceed to step 3 to clear the Set snapping point property of the second of the two
objects/groups.
