This is a read-only archive of the inkscapeforum.com site. You can search for info here or post new questions and comments at Is it possible to snap to objects or vertex of currently drawn objects. I tried to enable "Always snap to object" in the document preference, and then I tried snap together lines, square and squares converted to path and it does not work.
So if there is object/vertex snapping, how is it done.

Re: Snapping to objects or Vertex
Hi Larienna
There is a whole toolbar dedicated to snapping.
Ensure it is enabled- View > Show/Hide > Snap Controls Bar
In the toolbar Highlight- 'Enable Snapping', 'Snap to nodes or handles' and 'Snap to Paths'
Snap to Paths allows you to snap to 'paths' or 'vertexes'
Does this answer the question?

Re: Snapping to objects or Vertex
I tried with the snapping tool bar and it works. I attached the results as an example. The hexagon are made of 6 different segments grouped together. Vertex Snapping and rotation in steps of 15 degrees make it work perfectly without the use of a grid.
