How to place items correctly – Office

To correctly place items in a drawing you need to know how to "snap" items together. Begin by selecting panels from the Explorer bar and "snapping" them together using their connection nodes. Cap symbols have connection nodes in a variety of convenient locations.

Panels have nodes on each corner.
Worksurfaces have nodes on the rear to connect to the panels.
Worksurfaces also have nodes on the front to connect to pedestals.
Overhead storage units have nodes in the center for task lights.

Note: Each Manufacturer provides symbols with different locations for nodes. The graphic is a general suggestion as to where nodes may be located. Each Manufacturer may vary slightly.

You can view the nodes by typing DDPTYPE at the command prompt and pressing Enter. Change the point type to an X or a circle.

You must type the REGEN at the command prompt to have the changes take effect.
