A dynamic alignment guide line is displayed when alignment is achieved from the current cursor location to the axially-aligned object snap point (hotspot). The Axis Snap Range defines the distance within which X or Y axial-alignment will occur. Axes - used to toggle whether the cursor will axially-align (in either the X or Y direction) to the enabled Objects for snapping.A Snap Guide will override the Snap Grid. Guides - used to toggle whether the cursor will snap to manually placed linear or point Snap Guides.The active snap grid is displayed on the Status bar and in the PCB editor Heads Up display ( Shift+H to toggle on/off). When this option is enabled, the cursor will pull or snap to the nearest snap grid location. Grids - used to toggle whether the cursor will snap to the active design space grid.Snap Options - provides options to determine cursor snapping (first image above):.Object buttons – toggle each object button to enable/disable the ability to select that object type.All - On – select so that all types of objects can be selected.Selection Filter - The options in this region determine which PCB objects can be selected in the design space.The following regions of the panel are used. The images below show the regions of the panel that are used to configure the unified cursor-snap system.Īccess controls for the Unified Cursor-Snap System in the Properties panel, including the Snap Options, Grid Manager and Guide Manager. The Unified Cursor-Snap System is configured in the Properties panel (accessed when there are no design objects currently selected in the design space). To control the visibility and color of the origin marker in the design space, use the controls next to the Origin Marker entry in the System Colors region on the Layers & Colors tab of the View Configuration panel. To set the relative origin to the default Absolute Origin at the extreme lower-left of the 100 x 100 inch design space, use the Edit » Origin » Reset command from the main menus. After selecting the required location, all objects in the design space will have their locations updated relative to this point. Use the Edit » Origin » Set command from the main menus to define a location in the design space as the new current origin and set its coordinates to (0,0). Positions of placed objects are also displayed/defined relative to the current origin. The current origin is user-definable and can be located anywhere in the design space. The current cursor location is shown is displayed on the Status Bar relative to the Current Origin. These features combine to ensure streamlined placement and alignment of objects in the PCB design space.
