This feature enables you to separate overlapping symbols
that are positioned very close together and which give a cluttered
appearance to the view. Separating symbols in this way is done by
dragging a rectangle over the set of symbols of interest. This displaces
all the symbols related to the current SDM model displayed (and contained
within the rectangle) and removes the clutter from the view.
When you displace the symbols, their true position can
be seen more clearly; the anchor point for each symbol is shown in
red with a line connecting it to the symbol. Note that if a symbol
does not need to be moved, only the point is displayed.
The following figure shows an example of cluttered and
uncluttered symbols.
