Disabling automatic pin connection in Quartus block editor

Hi,

I have a top level schematic with Quartus 9.0 sp2.

Whenever I move symbols I must pay a lot of attention because it's very easy to make a mess of the whole design. This is due to the "sticky" behaviour of pins and traces which generates false connections.

Is it possible to avoid this?

In the Quartus settings I can disable the rubberbanding option and in some cases this helps. Is there a faster way to switch on/off rubberbanding without opening every time the settings window?

Cris

    when you are in schematic entry mode, there is a button that looks like a line going from the left to the bottom with some short blue line at the corner of the line.

    if this button is pressed and you move a symbol the its connected wires or bus will be like a rubber band, if it it not pressed, you will move the symbol but wires and busses still stay there but the conection between them and the symbol you are currently moving will be lost
