Snap to grid

Hi all.

I'm doing some work which requires snap-to-grid to be on. However, it seems that no matter what I do, XaraX1 thoroughly ignores the snap-to-grid option, whether creating new rectangles or moving stuff around, nothing snaps to grid.

I am using the standard 50 pixels major spacing grid. I tried setting magnetic snapping to 1pix, 10 pix and 50 pix but it made no difference. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Anyone got any ideas? I am assuming that such a basic thing works in X1 and that I am missing something obvious (having only recently started to use XaraX seriously).

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Micheal,

It was a setting someplace. I do not remember exactly which one it was, but I think it was the nudge or duplication distance was zeroed out. It works fine on mine. Used it to create the pretty pic...

Hey Egg,

you cracked this one! that was it alright... I had the right dialog, wrong tab...

Thanks guys!!

It's working now http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif Seems quite a silly setting to have it on as default ie. where you can't see anything snap to grid http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif
