Rulers
Sprint Layout offers rulers on top and on the
left of the editor. The scale units may be switched between inch (I) and millimetre
(M) with the push button between the rulers. (Also available from the OPTIONS item of the
main menu.) The current mouse position is
marked for better orientation.
The current mouse position is displayed in the
left corner on bottom of the editor. The units
of the display correspond to the rulers units.
Origin
Normally the top left corner of the editor is the
origin of the coordinates. The origin is indicated by a blue point. You may drag & drop the origin to
another position, which may be helpful for
calculation of distances. Click to the blue point, hold the left mouse
button down and move the origin to the desired
position. Coordinates will refer to the new
origin immediately.
If the origin is not visible in the actual view,
you can set it like this: Click with the right
mouse button on the desired position on your layout and select SET ORIGIN from the local popup menu.
Tip:
When moving the origin it will be captured to the
grid. Hold the CTRL-key of your keyboard down,
to reach positions that are off the grid.
