KOMPAS-3D v23

If several document sheets were selected for the preview, you can move them across the outputfield snapping sheet corners to each other.

Unlike the order of operations described above, before you start movement, place the cursor closer to the sheet corner rather than at the center of the selected sheet, so that the cursor is displayed as a boxed corner (the cursor orientation depends on the corner near which it was fixed).

Click the left mouse button and move the sheet boundary frame across the output field.

When the corner of the boundary frame of the sheet you're dragging approaches the corner of the boundary frame of another sheet, a small square marker appears inside the cursor frame . If you release the mouse button while this marker is displayed on the screen, the respective corner of the selected sheet will be snapped to the corner of another sheet (in this case, other corners of these sheets may not exactly match if the sheet side sizes are different).

The relative distance value between the sheet corners at which the snap marker appears can bechanged in the Print Settings dialog (see section Print Settings). You can use the same dialog to enable or disable a gap when snapping sheet corners to each other, and to set the gap value.

Using a gap when snapping sheet corners to each other

To enable or disable a gap when snapping to sheet corners, use the Keep Gap Between Sheets command. The button of this command is located on the toolbar.

The gap is used, for example, when placing sheets with snapping of their corners to each other, when running the Join and Align Selected Sheetscommand, when adding documents to the print preview (that is, immediately after calling the Position of Sheets on the Output Field Does Not Change command).

•If the gap is enabled, the sheets are placed at a distance specified in the Gap field of the Print Settings dialog.

•If the gap is disabled, the sheets are placed close to each other, that is, with a zero gap.
