Snap Objects

 

"Snap" is a term that means shapes are aligned, moved, or re-sized in uniform intervals or positions. In Excel, there are two types of snapping available: Snap to Grid and Snap to Shape. FlowBreeze activates both types of snap automatically when a flowcharting session is started. But if you ever close a workbook and re-open it, you will be to work them back on manually if you want to edit the flow diagram.

 

 

Snap to Grid

 

Snaps the symbols to the nearest worksheet cell gridline when positioning or sizing symbols. It is activated by clicking Grid > Snap to Grid from the FlowBreeze toolbar.

 

 

Snap to Shape

 

Snaps the symbols to the nearest shape. It is activated by clicking Grid > Snap to Shape from the FlowBreeze toolbar. A good application for this is to route flow lines up to other flow lines, as show below.

Option - Turn on Snap to Grid at Startup

 

 

The General tab of the settings window allows you to set an option to turn on snap to grid when Excel starts.
