PSOC Creator 3.0 rubber banding driving me nuts...

Something simple that is constantly raising my blood pressure:

   

Lets say you have an inverter that is connected on both sides by horizontal traces.

   

You want to shift the inverter horizontally on your schematic, because you want some more room on one side.

   

You click on it and try to drag it but as soon as you do the traces begin overlapping or jumping out of the way, instead of just reducing or expanding in length.

   

The same also applies to grabbing the end of the trace and trying to shorten it. What does the rubber band algorithm assume it is not fixed on one end?

   

What am I doing wrong here? Do I really need to delete the trace on the side I am dragging toward, so it does not bunch up or overlap?

   

This is something I constantly do in other schematic CAD packages, like EagleCad, without issue.

   

Help! And thanks, Bill

Welcome in the forum and in the obvously very exciting world of rubber-banding

   

There are two different solutions to that issue.

   

On both your hands touch your thumb lightly with your index finger and say ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,

   

Or wait for Creator 3.1, a beta is already out and rubber banding is improved.

 Thanks Bob. I am downloading 3.1 right now. I will post again if I see any improvement in my BP.

 Creator 3.1 did not take care of it. BP still high.

   

Can't move an inverter without all kinds of weirdness.

   

The strange thing is, I can move an OR gate without a problem! The leading trace shrinks and the following traces expand.

   

In either 3.0 or 3.1. If it has two inputs, no problem.

   

The inverter on the other hand is just a mess to rubber band.

   

BUT if I can grab one whole trace on one side of an inverter and move the group, that also seems to work by shrinking the leading trace.

   

Is there a bug-report I can post this to?

So last chance is to follow plan B, the Ommmmmhhhh version until Creator 3.2 comes.
