This bug has been already mentioned here : https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/73657-snapping-to-grid-problems-in-designer/&tab=comments#comment-383333 Edited March 23, 2020 by iPa640 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted March 23, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 23, 2020 Hi iPa640, Would you be able to record some footage that shows the issues you're having with Snap to Grid please? See this link to record on the iPad: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT207935 Please ensure that you have gone into Document > Snapping and enabled both 'Snapping' and 'Snap to grid' - Snap to grid is actually off by default.

Staff Sean P Posted March 24, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 24, 2020 Thanks for the video - I see what you mean now! Can you just confirm the snapping works as expected if you zoom out a way - enough to see the heavier and lighter grid lines. I believe this is only happening when zoomed in, and is snapping to individual points. There is an issue that grids are failing to display when below a certain threshold, which I think is what is happening to the divisions. So I believe the snapping is correct, its just failing to display the grid divisions to which it is snapping to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if you are zoomed out a lot, that work as expected, but the zoom factor that enable this behaviour depends on the grid settings too, so it’s very difficult to predict the behaviour. One thing is sure is that begin too early! I have tried many settings value with auto and standard mode grid, please could you try there is really something to improve, not really usable now. If I setup my grid for spacing and divisions I don’t expect to get more division than my setup ! Maybe a solution could be to have a switch to activate or disable this behavior ( auto grid subdivision ). I hope you understand what I mean.
