Snapping Components

You can snap a component onto another component.

  • The Snap makes only simple snaps. Using this command is a convenient way to translate or rotate components.
  • The Snap is able to work in visualization mode, which means the positioned component and the positioning parts will no longer need to be switched into design mode. However, in order to select points, you must be working in Design mode.
  • The element to be snapped must belong to the active component.

Before you begin: open an assembly.
