N00b question: snap to grid only works sometimes

Hey there. I’ve run into this problem before. However, I don’t find it a problem.

I couldn’t reproduce it properly, but it seems if you zoom out a little, you’ll snap to grid as usual. I’m not sure if it’s a bug or it is meant to be this way.

Hope this helps 😃

Thanks, it’s much appreciated! Good to know I’m not alone with this issue. I thought perhaps I’d overlooked something.

I tried again at different zoom levels and while snapping feels a bit more reliable when dragging an entire object (e.g., a whole rectangle or polygon), single vertices move completely freely without adherence to any grid. Might just be something we have to live with.

Vertices have never been able to snap to layout grids; only to the pixel grid. It is definitely a missing feature, especially if you’re designing icons.

Good to know, thanks!
