Aligning Components To The Grid - Yamaha DME32 Owner's Manual

Aligning Components to the Grid

The grid, a pattern of regularly spaced horizontal and vertical dotted lines, is convenient
for aligning components. When the Snap to grid option is on, components automati-
cally align to the grid as they are added or moved. Components already in a configura-
tion can be aligned to the grid by using the Align command.
Note that the grid is only available when zoom is set to 100%.
Choose Grid from the View menu.
