Jump Location

Two incarnations of the Jump Location dialog

Summary

This dialog provides controls to specify X and Y 'jump' coordinates. While the controls of the dialog remain the same, the actual use of the dialog and its banner text will vary depending on the context in which it was accessed, for example, to paste an object at a particular location in the workspace, or to move an object or selection by a certain amount within the workspace.

Access

The dialog can be accessed and used in both the Schematic Editor and the Schematic Library Editor.

• Schematic Editor and Schematic Library Editor - the dialog can be accessed in the following ways:
  • For a placed polygon object, access the Vertices tab of the Polygon dialog then use the Move Polygon By XY command (available from the Menu button or right-click menu). This will open the Move Polygon By dialog.
  • For a placed polyline object, access the Vertices tab of the PolyLine dialog, and use the Move Line By XY command (available from the Menu button or right-click menu). This will open the Move Line By dialog.
• Schematic Editor only - the dialog can be accessed in the following ways:
  • Press Tab while pasting a copied object (or selection of objects) to access the Paste To Position dialog.
  • With one or more objects selected in the workspace, use the Tools | Arrange |  » Move Selection by X, Y command from the main menus. This will open the Move Selection by X, Y dialog.
