Often you need to work in a cross-application environment with Capture. In this case, you need to select components in Capture for display or selection in another (for example, PCB Editor). In this case, you may inadvertently shift a component you select on the schematic page or disturb the connectivity of the circuit. To avoid this, you can temporarily lock a component onto you canvas. This prohibits you from moving the component on the schematic page.

The component is selected by the left-click operation but also it is locked (by the Shift + Ctrl key combination) so you cannot move the component. Now if you left-click the component it remains selected. 2 J& e* \8 T1 t' S& h
