Introduction

Step-transition and transition-step sequences can only be placed in free cells. The number of free cells required depends on the size of the sequence to be inserted.

If a cell, in which the step-transition or transition-step sequence is to be placed, is already occupied by an object, an error message is returned.

A step-transition or transition-step sequence which is placed always connects automatically with the neighboring objects above and below if there are no free cells between them, see also section Connection rules in the Reference manual.
