The grid can be displayed by right-clicking on the canvas in the Main Project Screen and
toggling Show Grid in the context menu. Snap to Grid can be enabled in the same way.
These options can also be accessed in Tools > Settings > Preferences. Selecting Properties
from this right-click menu, displays grid colour and spacing options in the Properties tab on
the right-hand side of the screen when the canvas itself is selected.
Snap to Fixtures
When laying out fixtures on the canvas it is often helpful to be able to place them exactly
adjacent to one another without spaces between them. When Snap to Fixtures is enabled a
fixture will be pulled towards other fixtures it is dragged near. This option can be accessed in
Tools > Settings > Preferences or by right-clicking on the canvas and toggling Snap to
Fixtures in the context menu.
Rotating Fixtures
Fixtures and groups of fixtures can be rotated by selecting them and entering the degree of
rotation in the Properties tab. Individual panels rotate around their top left corner. Groups
rotate around their anchor point, indicated by a small circle that is placed by default in the
centre but can be moved using the Rotation Center settings in the Properties tab.
NB The S4 processor can only rotate in 90 degree increments.
For further information on how rotating fixtures affects network load see "Network Load"
on page89.
