I don't think snap to grid is working

Postby seans_potato_biz » Fri Nov 06, 2015 12:51 am

I made a grid visible in Document Properties and now I'm moving a group of text boxes, hoping it will snap to the grid I made but it's not.

I've uploaded a screen capture to YouTube in case that helps:

In your snapping bar, snapping of text anchors and bounding box margins/corners is not switched on, but they need to be activated to be able to snap to the grid (which is activated). Just press the corresponding buttons in the snapping bar. The way how the snapping bar works has changed in 0.91 (see http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php ... 1#Snapping)
