Grips

Grips are a mechanism used in gschem to provide an easy way of modifying objects inside schematics. When you select an object, little squares are placed in strategic locations (line end points or circle radius point or corners of a box) which allow you to change the object quickly. Grip support currently exists for lines, nets, pins, buses, circles, and boxes. Arcs do not yet have grips, but will eventually have them.

Using grips is easy:

1. Select the object you want to change. The grips (the little boxes) will appear.

2. Click and hold the first mouse button inside the box.

3. Move the mouse around till you have the object where you want it

4. Release the mouse button.
