4. Place a check mark for the subordinate symbol or symbols and click
OK.
5. Repeat the process for each Master symbol. The Detach All bar at the
top can be used to remove all attachments from the currently selected
symbol in the Master box. To detach only one attachment, clear its
check box.
6. Click OK. When you move a Master symbol, any subordinates move
with it.
There are two other routes to the Symbol Attachments dialog box.
Choose Edit > Symbol Attachments, or, on the right-click menu, click
Symbol Attachments.
Move Attached Symbols Independently
Click and drag an attached symbol that is not the Master Symbol to move
the symbol independently without affecting the position of the Master
Symbol.
Detect Connections and Attachments
You can easily detect which symbols in your display are attached and/or
connected to Connectors, or which symbols are attached to symbols. To
see whether Connectors or attached symbols exist for a particular symbol:
Click the symbol or connector and hold down the mouse button for
more than one half second.
If there are existing Connectors, all Connectors with attached
symbols for this symbol are spotlighted and display in a different
color (for example, white for black or yellow for blue).
If there are no Connectors, nothing happens.
