Enabling/Disabling Auto Placement of Devices

After scanning the network, the devices and relating connections are positioned in the view depending on the set auto placement mode. The auto placement mode is enabled/disabled via the button on the editor's toolbar.

With enabled auto placement (button appears pressed), new devices discovered by a network scan and online devices manually added to the project are placed automatically in the view. The editor tries to keep the position of devices that were discovered by a previous network scan.

With disabled auto placement (button appears not pressed), all devices in the view keep their position. New devices discovered by a network scan and online devices manually added to the project are placed at the top left of the view (possibly placed above each other).

For details on how to move and re-arrange devices in the view see the topic "Moving/Re-arranging Devices".
