Snapping tool [split]

[Roxy1]

Border.svgHi.? Re snapping tool. I want to snap 3 borders together of a specific width but they snap to middle. I've sorted first two borders by changing where alignment is but struggling with 3rd border snapping.  As shown in image attached. Thanks

Welcome to the forums @Roxy1

Snapping works – in this particular case – with the bounding boxes of the layers and your rectangles have the stroke as “Align: Centred” so the bounding box is ‘in the middle’ of the stroke and that’s what is being snapped to.

You can try setting the stroke to be aligned Inside or Outside rather than Centred.

For us to be able to give any further advice we would need to know exactly which rectangles you need to be aligned, and aligned with which others, and exactly how each should be aligned with the others. Otherwise we are just guessing at your requirements and therefore could give advice which might not be what you need.

It would also be helpful to post the Affinity file (or a simplified version of it) or at least a screenshot of the complete workspace & UI. There is no good reason to post an SVG that doesn't even show that.
