    I am looking for the properties for the rack layout window.  If possible I would like to change the settings for grid size, snap to(if it exist), and try to find the setting for selection of rack clusters.  My office mate has something turned on when he selects a rack cluster a nice big colored box shows up that show some information on the racks selected.

    Hi Pyro_22430000, thanks for posting!

     

    The grid size in the racks window is a function your zoom level, the grid spacing isn’t currently customizable. The only setting that affects the grid is File > User settings > Show ruler distances in feet instead of meters.

     

    You mentioned snapping so I think I should note that racks snap to other racks. Racks don’t snap to the grid.

     

    If you’re not seeing colorful rack cluster outlines and rules when dragging and dropping racks, the problem is most likely that you’re not running the latest version of Finale 3D. Make sure you’re running the latest release from http://finale3d.com/download and give it another try. If you’re not sure what build you’re running, you can check in File > View account details.

    Thank you, for your response, Yes I was looking to see if there was a setting to snap to the grid option.   It’s the OCD coming out when lining up racks.

    Hey Pyro_22430000, in August 2024, we added a new feature to align racks. You can now select a set of racks, right click > Align (Top/Bottom/Left/Right), see screenshot below.
