6. Select the View ➪ Show Grid menu command (or press the G key) to turn off the grid. Drag on
the corner of the Schematic View interface to increase the size of the window so that the whole
background image is visible.
7. Before moving any of the nodes, enable the Lock Zoom/Pan option in the Schematic View
Preferences dialog box so the image resizes with the nodes. Then, select each of the nodes, and
drag them so that they are roughly positioned on top of the part that they represent. Start by
moving the parent objects first, and then work to their children.
Figure 25.12 shows all the nodes aligned over their respective parts. From this arrangement, you can clearly
see how the links are organized.

Using a background image, you can see how the links relate to the model.
