Snap-On placement supports placement of one item, the source, relative to an existing item, the target. The method assumes that symbols represent both the source and target items. Snap-on placement relies on connect points in both the source and target to define the placement configurations. When you use this placement method for an item, you specify the connect point types for both items.

You can use this placement method to place actuators on valves, TEMA ends on TEMA shells, and instrument functions on instruments. You can also use this method to place inline components, such as valves, directly on nozzles and other inline components.

This placement method works in two ways:

  • If Rotate To Fit is True, the software generates a configuration for each connect point in the source. Each configuration rotates the source by an angle to allow the source and target connect points to match.

  • If Rotate To Fit is False, the software finds the one connect point on the source that matches with the target connect point. The software generates a single configuration with zero rotation.
