How to turn off the control point snap on agv network?

When I connect two agv tracks, a connection point is created. I want to place the control point on that connection point, but if I do so, the network does not work.

I was told earlier, that the control points have to be either on one track or the other, they cannot be where the connection is located. This is because the connection point is not actually a part of the track, so it doesn't have the logic built into it.

So if i place the control point very close to the connection point, the control point snaps to the connection point. Is there a way to turn off the snap? I wan to place the control point at a distance of 1mm from the connection point.

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.2.2

This requires some customization, but try adapting the script in the scripting window of this file to your needs. It jumps the CP around prevent the AGV system from auto locking it onto that connection point. This code works for a linear track. I made it move to the left .301, finalize it's location, then tell it to jump right .3. You will need to hit reset after doing this.agv-set-cp-position.fsm

@Pinakin K

Just uncheck the Snap to Grid box in the Quick Properties window.
