New "Snap-To" Toggle Button

[dwinstonwood]

So, I made a contribution to Bane Stojkovic - author of DIY Layout Creator - and asked him to add a "Snap-To" toggle button to a future version. I just got an email from him informing me that the feature has been added to version 4.12.0.

This is an extremely useful tool as it allows you to precisely align wires and components to objects that do not have adjustable nodes, such as pots, switches, inputs, and tube sockets, and such.

I like my drawings to be aligned to a 1/16" grid, so that they can be drawn close to scale, however, this often places object nodes in locations that require switching to the "Snap-to-Component" mode in order to attach wires, resistors, and capacitors, etc. For me, it was time consuming and annoying having to switch modes through the drop-down menu. Now, you can switch between the three snap-to modes by simply clicking on the new toggle button at the top-right of the app.

I just wanted to share this new feature that Bane added to version 4.12.0. Thanks.
