Moving to a location, reference, or bookmark

You can use the Go To command to move to specific locations (either grid coordinates, references, or bookmarks) in a particular editor. The X and Y coordinates of your pointer's current location appear:

• on the right-hand side of the status bar in the schematic page editor
• on the bottom right corner of the part editor window

In the schematic page editor, grid references appear on the left and upper edges of the schematic page.

In the part editor, the Grid Reference and Bookmark tabs are not available in the Go To dialog box.

The Go To command is always available on the right mouse button context-sensitive menus in the part editor and schematic page editor. The Go To command, with the Relative option selected, is particularly useful for precise placement and spacing.
