This is particularly useful for visuals like Floor Plans, in which the scale matters. For more details,
see Working with Dimensions.
The Snaps button allows you to choose how items attach to the (usually invisible) grid in the Work
Area, or specify whether they snap to the grid at all. Using snaps helps you to work with items
quickly and easily. For example, items which snap to the grid are much easier to align.
There are three checkbox buttons in the Rulers & Grid group:
- Show Rulers shows or hides the rulers along the top and left edges of the Work Area.
- Show Grid shows or hides the grid, which is defined by the scale of the rulers.
- Use Snaps turns on or off the setting for all items to snap onto the grid.
The Find & Replace Group
The Find & Replace group helps you to search for words or phrases you may have entered into the
visual.
The Find button opens the Find and Replace dialog box, where you can enter a word or phrase and
search for each instance of that word or phrase in the Work Area. You can also hold down the Ctrl
key and press the F key to open the same dialog box.
The Replace button opens the same Find and Replace dialog box, but with more controls for
replacing. You can also reach this dialog box by clicking the Find button and then clicking “Replace
>>” in that dialog box.
