Kijoli Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I wanted to snap objects to the horizontal center of a box, but this snapping was very arbitrary, sometimes it worked and sometimes it just wasn't there. So I started experimenting with the settings in the Snapping Manager, and checked various boxes there. Then it suddenly breaks completely and it doesn't matter that I uncheck the boxes again! What happens now is that I cannot even move an object down in a straight vertical line by holding the shift button. Instead the object will move down-right or down-left, never straight down. This behavior remains even when I uncheck ALL boxes in the snapping manager. It also doesn't matter that I restart the file. Only when I go to another file does it work again, even when the settings are EXACTLY the same. So, in short: 1. How do I get snapping back to normal in my file? 2. How do I reliably snap objects to the horizontal center of a box? Thanks. EDIT: I should add that the only snapping that does work now when I check one or more snapping boxes is down-right/down-left/up-right/up-left type snapping. I don't know exactly the difference between the boxes but it doesn't seem to matter what combination I choose. The vertical/horizontal snapping is all but gone.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kijoli Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Doesn't work, sorry. One more thing I could add is that, like I said when I hold shift button I can only move objects down-right/down-left etc (diagonally might be a better word), whereas before I could only move them orthogonally. BUT this is now regardless of whether I have snapping on or not, strange because it seems to have been triggered after I entered the grid manager. The only other thing I looked at was the grid and axis manager but I did not change anything there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have your grid showing? View > Show Grid. This sounds like you may have an isometric grid turned on.
