[Solved] Objects don't snap when I draw them

Postby lexxi » Fri Mar 27, 2015 6:24 am

I upgraded to v 0.91 and haven't had much time to play with it. One thing that I'm having trouble with is that when I draw an object, it doesn't snap to the gridlines like it used to. I'll draw the object and it just lets me draw it however. Then after, when I resize, it will happily snap to the grid lines... just not while drawing it, like it used to.

I've tried changing the snap settings but no luck. Here's how it's currently set.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you

I'd also tick the buttons for path snapping.
Hovering with the mouse pointer over each button show tips.
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/
