The handle cross is the handle of a [[symbol]] or a [[package]]. In order to highlight a symbol/package as a whole it is clicked with '''[[M1]]''' upon the handle cross. Now it can be displaced, cut or copied. In the [[Pointer|Pointer tool bar]] is by default the icon [[image:SelByHandle.png]] pressed. This setting effects, that the component as a whole is highlighted only if the handle cross is hit. In other words if you don´t hit the handle cross exactly not the complete figure will be highlighted but only this part of it, you had hit. In case you wish to highlight the whole figure also by just hitting a part of it, you need to press additionally the icon [[image:SelByElem.png]]

By '''[[M11]]''' on the handle cross a dialog opens which allows the inspection of major properties of the component. During the act of importing a component from a library to your canvas, the figure is fixed as a pictogram with its handle cross to your cursor.

== Symbol with Handle cross ==

By '''[[M11]]''' upon the handle cross the dialog "Change Symbols" opens:

== Package with Handle cross ==

By '''[[M11]]''' upon the handle cross the dialog "Change Package" opens:

[[image:e_GehsAendernDlg.jpg|none]]

== Placement of the Handle cross / Displacement of the Handle cross position ==

The handle cross is placed when drawing / creating a symbol/package. After a component is imported to the canvas its handle cross position can not be modified unless you are ready to save the component having a new handle cross position and reimport it again. <br><br>

This displacement of the handle cross position is effected:

*at the symbol: by catching the symbol and pressing the key '''[y]'''. At cursor position the new handle cross appears. Now press key '''[x]''' for exporting it under a certain name to a library. A symbol which is created of a multitude of subsymbols (like several logic gates) will have several handle crosses (each subsymbol gets an individual handle cross). Catch one of the subsymbols and press key '''[y]''' at cursor position for placing its handle cross. Do so for each of the subsymbols. After all subsymbols having individual handle crosses now catch all subsymbols and press key '''[x]''' for exporting the symbol to a library.

*at the package: by catching the package and pressing key '''[x]''' for exporting it to a library. The handle cross is placed at cursor position.

== Fade out Handle cross ==

Click '''[[M2]]''' on an empty space and select entry "TARGET settings" from the appearing context menu:

[[image:e_KontextMenuEinst.jpg|none]]

The appearing dialog gives opportunity to define the size of the handle cross. It can achieve value=0 which means fade out.

[[image:e_EinstOptDlg2.jpg|none]]

== A tick at the handle ==

The handle cross of a symbol (schematic) gets a tick, if a corresponding package in the layout is placed already.
