leSnapPatternSnapping

leSnapPatternSnapping string { off | detail | abstract | f_offset | f_vOffset f_hOffset }

Lets you enable the Manual Mode Placement override and specify the placement mode or offset on a per instance or master basis. You can set the leSnapPatternSnapping property on the instance, master, or both. When set on both, the instance definition overrides the master definition.

You can also set the leSnapPatternSnapping property as a CDF parameter. The CDF parameter overrides the property on the instance and master.

Valid values are:

• off: No automatic snapping.
• detail: Force Detail Mode Placement.
• abstract: Force Abstract Mode Placement.
• f_offset: Force Abstract Mode Placement with manual offset for both directions along which snapping is done.
• f_vOffset f_hOffset: Force Abstract Mode Placement with separate manual offsets. The first number indicates the vertical offset (for example, fin grid) and the second number refers to the horizontal offset (for example, poly grid).
