If this mode is on, the DataPlacement of objects is automatically adjusted when they are dragged and dropped from one container into another container with a different coordinate system, preserving their placement relative to the global coordinate system.

    • Click on the black down arrow to the right of the button and select the Sync placement option from the flyout. Note: the button image will change depending on the selected option.
    • Select the View → TreeView actions → Sync placement option from the menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: T then 3.

Preferences

The Tree view SyncPlacement mode is stored: Tools → Edit parameters... → BaseApp → Preferences → TreeView → SyncPlacement. It is a boolean value, the default is false.
