FFLD Selection Grid

The diagram is entered in a logical grid, and all objects are snapped to the grid.

  • Use the View menu commands to see hiding grid points.
    • This helps locate errors detected by the compiler or aligning objects in the diagram.
  • Zoom in or out of the edited diagram.
  • Drag the separation lines in vertical and horizontal rulers to freely resize the cells of the grid:

       


  • If a split window is in use, the zoom applies only to the currently selected split window (each split window can be zoomed to different levels).

  • The current position in the grid is always highlighted by a dotted cell.
    • Its coordinates (row, column) are displayed at the bottom left-hand corner of the editor.
  • Click the current position, the cell is drawn as gray, meaning that it can be dragged somewhere else in the diagram.
    • Select multiple cells with the mouse, or use the arrows of the keyboard with the <SHIFT> key pressed.
  • Click the power rail (gray ruler at the left border) to select a full row.

These commands are available from the keyboard:
