(4.0.1.5601) Line alignment on centers or post-width edges?

[tgm1024]

Version 4.0.1.5601

I'm not in good command of the Xara model here. If I create a move a series of copies lines (in effort to, say, make a grid), if I move the line from the bottom upwards it tends to align on the top edge. If I move from the above downwards, it tends to align on the bottom edge.

However, not always. <----this spooks me a bit.

This is with "align to grid" on, but "align to object" off.

Is there a way to have the line path itself (the infinitely thin middle of the line) align to the grid? I'm assuming that I can then worry about line joins (mitre, butt, etc.) separately.

Yes. Use the "Scale line widths" button on the Selector tool infobar. It controls whether line attributes are taken into account in all places that use the bounds of an object. So if you turn it off then just the raw paths will snap to your grid.
