Place an object on an object

You can place an object on another object. The object then overlaps the object on which it is placed, but has no implicit connection to this object. Implicit connections are connections that are not being displayed while an object is placed in another object.

Procedure

  1. Click the object you want to place on another object, and hold down the mouse button.
  2. Drag the object on top of the other object, position it inside the other object's borders, and release the mouse button. The connection selection is displayed.
  3. Click No connection No connection. Thus, no connection is created between the two objects.

The object is now placed on the other object. Due to the lack of an implicit connection, the embedded object is neither selected nor moved when the object on which it was placed is selected or moved.
