Snap to grid alignment for objects


Recommended Posts

I'd like to suggest a feature that would help with a certain problem.

 

If I have an object thats, lets say is: 23px wide and 43,2px high. My grid is set to 5px. 

 

When trying to snap this object to the grid it also snaps to the right and bottom sides, which leads to the problem that objects like this snap to uneven coordinates.

 

If there was an option to select that only the top-left side should snap to the grid while moving this would eliminate this issue.

 

What do you think about my suggestion?

 

Thanks in advance.  ;)

I'm not sure I clearly understood your problem...

If you can post some screenshots it could help.

I'll try anyway.  :)

 

In your case, the object seems to be "not in metrics" with a 5px grid.

Whenever I face such kind of problems (regardless of the software I'm using) I tend to wrap my object in a "regular" bounding-box.

In your case for example I'd try something like a 30x45 pixels, that will snap easily in a 5px grid.
