Manipulating Component Icons
- In building larger cycles, you may
want to move, copy, delete, rotate, or flip a device
icon. Moving is easy; just left-click on the icon and
drag it to where you want it. Although you can move
connected icons, be aware that the connections can
restrict how much you can move a given icon, so try to
get devices in roughly the right place before you connect
them.
- As for the other things you can do to
device icons, a right click on a component icon in build
mode will pop-up the edit-icon menu:
- Copy Copies
the selected icon in its current orientation.
This can be faster than adding and rotating
several icons of same type.
- Delete Deletes the
selected icon
- Rotate 90 right Rotates
the icon ninety degrees clockwise.
- Rotate 90 left Rotates
the icon ninety degrees counter-clockwise.
- Page flip Reflects
the icon about its vertical axis, as though you
were turning the page of a book. Flips are
especially important for asymmetrical icons such
as heat exchangers.
- Steno flip Reflects
the icon about its horizontal axis, as though you
were turning the page of a steno pad or
reporter's notebook.
