CE Tool Bar - Snap

This section consists of single button: “Toggle Snap to Grid”. The button itself already calls the appropriate function and the little triangle reveals a submenu with two entries. Snapping does not affect the creation of keys, but repositioning them with the mouse. Regarding snapping, there is another useful keyboard/mouse combination: during dragging a control point to a new position, it is possible to hold the Alt key pressed. This simple action activates some kind of dynamic snapping, relative to the key’s original positions in horizontal and vertical directions.

 

The “Toggle Snap to Grid” Button

The "Graph" window shows a background grid for better orientation and to give you a rough impression of the adjusted values and their dimensions. If you want to move a key to a new position, you can activate snapping. The final position of the key will be at an intersection point of a vertical and a horizontal grid line.

The “Toggle Snap to Grid” Submenu

Horizontal Snap

Only the horizontal grid lines will be considered while repositioning a key.

Vertical Snap

This function works exactly as the previous one, but in the vertical direction.
