I have a vector drawing and when I past into a new document I cannot zero one edge of the vector drawing to the pixel grid. I cannot nudge it to snap.

If you zoom-in you will see what I mean.

 

How do I do that?

Your document UOM is millimetres rather than pixels so that might be the first problem.

Your curves have stroke widths that are not integer pixel widths so that’s probably the second problem.

Your curves have “Align: Centre”, so unless you have stroke widths divisible by 2 pixels, that’s probably another problem.

Edit: Also, none of the individual curves (that I have looked at) in the Curves layer are individually aligned to the pixel grid, so that’s probably not helping, but I don’t know what you want to achieve.

As for snapping, we can’t see what your snapping settings are so we can’t tell if you are using the correct settings for what you want to do.

In addition to Garry's comments:

  • You don't have Force Pixel Alignment turned on in your Snapping Options, and you have Move By Whole Pixels turned on (should be off).
  • You don't have Snap to Grid on.

Thank you Walt. I've changed my snapping options as you suggested.
