To align blocks to an invisible grid
When you move a block with Snap to Grid active, the block is forced to the nearest grid point. Blocks that have been inserted into your diagram before Snap to Grid is active are also affected by this parameter.
In addition, when Snap to Grid is active Embed saves block positions in units of ½ the average character size of the currently selected font. This results in a more consistent appearance of the diagram over different graphic resolutions.
•Under Edit > Preferences > Preferences, activate Snap to Grid.
To align a group of blocks
1. Select the blocks to be lined up.
2. Choose Edit > Align, or right-click one of the selected blocks.
3. Choose an alignment command.
To de-activate forced alignment at the top diagram level
In some instances, you may want to de-activate forced alignment at the top level of the diagram. This occurs when you have animation in that level and you want granular control of bitmap placement.
•Under Edit > Preferences > Preferences, activate Do Not Snap To Grid On The Top Level.
