The best solution is to use the Zoom toolbar to enlarge the diagrams. You can find

this as a tear-off toolbar on the standard Drawing toolbar. It contains (among others)

tools for zooming in and out (enlarging or shrinking the view) of the current page. If

you click on the Zoom In tool and then click on the page, the scale is doubled and

the view is centered on the place where you clicked.

As the ends of the connection leads in this example do not lie on grid points, you must

switch off Snap to Grid and activate Snap to Object Points.

When you have done this, you can open the Glue Points toolbar with the Insert Glue

Point icon on the Drawing toolbar or using View > Toolbars from the menu bar.

Figure 220: The Glue Points toolbar

Select the block on which you want to insert a glue point. Click the Insert Glue

Point icon . It is now activated and appears with a different background. The

mouse cursor changes to a small cross and you can set the first glue point. Click the

mouse at the desired location. If the point is not exactly where you want it, move it by

dragging with the mouse.

When you are satisfied with the location, click on the Glue Points toolbar the icon

with the exit direction you want (left, right, top or bottom). The selected icon now has

a different (lighter or darker) background. Set the exit direction of the input

connection leads to the left and the output leads to the right.

When you have set a glue point at the end of each gate’s connection lead, you can

copy it into the Gallery.

Copying individual pictures to the Gallery

The Gallery is a very convenient way of controlling building blocks for drawings. It

also functions as a symbol library.

First open the Gallery using Tools > Gallery or by clicking on the icon if it is

present in one of the toolbars.

The Gallery appears above the drawing page. The left pane shows the folders

available for use and the right pane shows the images contained in the current folder.

Choose an image by clicking on it; additional information about the image appears in

the header bar.

In the left pane, click the New Theme button to create a new folder. A new window

opens. Click on the General tab and give the new theme a meaningful name (for

example Logic) to replace the default of New Theme. You can rename a theme by

right-clicking it in the folders pane on the left.

To import existing images into the Gallery, click on the Files tab and then on the Find

Files... button. It is possible to bring in complete folders or individual files; the

procedure is self-evident from the dialog windows that open, or see Chapter 14

(Working with the Gallery) in the Getting Started guide.

You can drag and drop Draw objects straight into the Gallery. (The Properties window

can be closed after typing in the name.) First select the destination folder, then click

on the first symbol that you wish to add to the Gallery. Position the mouse cursor
