Pinning and unpinning nodes on the topology map

By default, nodes are not pinned on the network map. Unpinned nodes may be automatically arranged for optimal display of other objects.

Nodes are pinned when their location is changed manually. You can also pin the current location of displayed objects without moving them.

To pin and unpin objects without moving them, you can use the buttons in the toolbar located in the left part of the topology map display area. You can use the and buttons to pin and unpin all nodes displayed on the topology map. The buttons are available if the topology map contains objects for which the corresponding actions can be applied.

After the location of a node is pinned, the icon appears in the upper-right corner of this element (if the topology map has a scale of less than 25%). You can also use this icon to unpin the object.

The location of a pinned node is retained. If a pinned node disappears from the topology map (for example, after a filter is applied), this node will be displayed in the same location the next time it appears (or nearby, if this place is already occupied by another pinned node).
