Snap to grid

**stubbsuk** · 16 July 2004, 05:12 PM

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...
