Hi! I'm new to Affinity and this forums. Let me start congratulating the Serif them for their great products! Recently I bought the 3 of them very satisfied with them. I have one question though, Is there a way to create an element, say a rectangle, in a "pixel perfect" position? 😁 Every time I create an element, its created on "decimal or sub-pixel" position, let say 242.6 px (X Position) and 206.3 px (Y Position) then I have to manually fix those values deleting the decimal on each value. Personally I need a lot of "pixel perfect alignment". I had the same problem with the actual size of the elements, always creating a sub-pixel size elements, then I started to play around with the "Snapping Manager" checking and unchecking boxes until I found a correct combination of settings that allowed me to create full/whole pixel elements, and that's great! but now I'm stuck with sub-pixel positioning, and I can't find any other option that I can enable/disable in order to get "whole-pixel" positioning. Is there a way to achieve this? that when you create or move a vector element can be created or moved in a whole-pixel position or full-pixel increments? That would be great. Thank you all in advance! 😅

The snapping manager, when selected from the view menu, opens and closes as expected. When the screen tolerance setting is selected, the slider becomes visible and a value can be selected by sliding the input slider. The snapping manager is then closed. The slider for the screen tolerance input stays on screen and obscures the view of whatever was on screen underneath the slider. Closing the program by clicking on the red button with the cross closes the program but the slider stays on the screen. It only goes after the program has been quit from the dock menu Screenshot 2018-09-01 23.00.41.pdf Screenshot 2018-09-01 23.00.54.pdf Screenshot 2018-09-01 23.12.31.pdf
