Overlapping Components

When you drag a new component from the Component tree onto an existing Viewsheet component, you will see the 'Layout Option' dialog box:

 

The following options are available:

'Move component right' places the new component in the first available column to the right of your original placement (same row).

'Move component down' places the new component in the first available row below your original placement (same column).

'Place component into tabbed interface' creates a tabbed interface with each component in its own tab.

When you move or paste an existing component onto another existing component, you will see a slightly different version:

 

The following options are available:

'Move component here' permits the components to naturally overlap each other.

'Place component into tabbed interface' creates a tabbed interface with each component in its own tab.

 

To move an overlapping component behind other components, right-click the component and select 'Send to Back' from the context menu. To move an overlapping component in front of other components, right-click the component and select 'Bring to Front' from the context menu.
