AFD : Snap-to question

[catlover]

1. I drew a letter A.

2. Next I drew a rectangle around it. This serves as the default measurement for all other letters.

3. Next, I copied the rectangle and pasted it into another letter.

4. Now I want to place snapped-to guides to the pasted rectangle so that I can delete the rectangle.

 

Snap is on (see settings) , but doesn't seem to work when dragging the guides to the rectangle straight after pasting it.

It DOES seem to work if first altering the rectangle. (moving, changing color, doesn't matter what ) 

 

Please have a look at the files to see what could be going wrong here.

Thanks,

C.L.

Hi catlover,

You have to enable Snap to object bounding boxes in the Snapping options.

If the guides don't snap immediately it's because the rectangle isn't a snapping candidate. Just mouse over the rectangle's stroke for a few moments while dragging the guide until it starts snapping.
