In illustrator (although its slow and rubbish!) .. it has guidelines that you can snap too. Tools recodnise when they are at 90degrees 45degrees etc. .. we need this.. a grid is NOT a complete solution for a designer.
Still wont go back though :-) LOL...
Xtreme/Web Designer and Designer Pro all have guidelines which you can snap to.
To enable the guideline snapping select Window>>Snap to Guides or press Num2
If you enable the Rulers (Ctrl+L) you can drag a Vertical and/or horizintal ruler guide to any position on the page (not limited to one).
Additionally, you can draw any shape on the guide layer (See the Page & Layer gallery for the guide layer) and this becomes a guide shape/object to snap drawing layer objects to.
You can create a constrained angle guide of a 45 and 90 degree (for example) line on the guide layer while holding the Ctrl key.
Which is why its greyed out on my P&GDP version?
Cripes, how much is the upgrade? LOL
It will be greyed out until (and unless) you have a guide to snap to.
Yes Guides layers are very good I am now using them, thanks.
