GenericPtr Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I think the 1.8.3 update broke snap to grid for me because it was working last time I used it. Maybe something else changed but I can't figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenericPtr Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Still no response? Can anyone confirm if this is a bug or is my copy broken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 14, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 14, 2020 Hi GenericPtr, As far as i know pixel selections never snapped to the grid (unless you are transforming them with the Move Tool), only to guides.

GenericPtr Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 I could swear I used to do this but I haven't been using Affinity for more than a few months. I think I used to do this in Photoshop also. You mean I can't set a 32x32 grid and make the selection snap to it? Here's another bug with grids which just happened.

Staff MEB Posted April 15, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 15, 2020 Hi GenericPtr, Yes. You are NOT able to create a grid and use it as reference to create precise pixel selections through snapping. As said above pixel selections only snap to guides, not grids. Regarding the grid misalignment in your screenshot (i believe that's what you are referring to), do you mind attaching the afphoto file for us to check please? Thanks.

Gort Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I'm also having an issue with snapping, although it's probably not the same as the above. But ever since the upgrade, I have not been able to snap an object accurately into place as I used to, but have to spend a lot of time 'fiddling' with the mouse to get the object just where I want it. I don't know if something has been changed in the settings in the upgrade or not because I have never really had to change anything there before. I would click snapping on or off as my needs called for it and use the default which suited me. But now, just to make a simple array of boxes takes me 4 or 5 times longer than it usually does and I can't work out why or how to put it right. If you can see the image I've included, what I get is a slight misalignment which is hard to correct because it simply won't snap into place as it used to, and after doing so many the operation becomes really tedious and annoying. I'd like to know what I'm missing here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know what I'm missing here too. Can you provide that document, or another with the same problem, for us to look at? My guess, at this point, is that it is snapping, but you have so many objects close together that it is not easy to get it to snap to the one you want. I'm thinking of all those closely-spaced vertical lines. But I would need to have the file to play with to confirm that, or make any suggestions.

Gort Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hi Walt, I'll try to upload the file, although there is nothing much to it at present - it's just the bare bones, but important that I get all the objects perfectly aligned to build on.
