The Geometric placement method is designed to support placement of one item, the source, as a freestanding item or relative to an existing item, the target. The method assumes that the source item is a symbol and does not use connect points. You do not need to specify connect point types on the Items Tab (Rule Properties Dialog).
This placement method allows you to snap to the target, rotate perpendicular to the target, and mirror to the inside or the outside of the target.
Use this placement method to place freestanding items, such as equipment, and to place equipment components, such as nozzles and trays.
