This major new functionality means that the elements in schematic designs stay connected as you move them within the document. So, if you wish to change the look of your block schematic and move products, either by dragging the selected symbols to their new position, or by nudging them with the arrow keys, the connections follow automatically. Furthermore, Rubber-Banding operates independently of Modifiers (Snap to Grid, Snap to Object, etc.).
This is an extremely important development, says Stardraw’s marketing director, Rob Robinson: "Rubber-Banding has been at the top of our ‘Most Wanted’ list for some time, and its development was a serious undertaking. The reason for this is that computers are inherently stupid, so adding intelligence to a design tool is particularly ambitious." He continued: "Rubber-Banding, and the technology that makes it possible, will support future enhancements that were inconceivable just a few short months ago."
