Snap to grid not working

[markbowen]

Hi,

This is going to be something silly I'm sure but I can't seem to get the snap to grid function working. 

It's turned on for the document under snapping but when I move a node it doesn't want to perform a snap at all. 

I've attached a quick screen recording showing what is happening (which unfortunately isn't much).

Any insight as to what I'm doing wrong or perhaps a setting I'm missing would be greatly appreciated. 

Many thanks,

Mark

Snapping isn't enabled, tap the small magnet icon in the bottom left.

And there you have it, I was right! It was something silly!!!

I must have leant with my right hand on the screen as it was actually turned on previously as I've been using it a lot lately.

Can't believe I didn't notice it had been turned off!

Thanks for pointing me to my silly mistake Lee!

Best wishes,

Mark

Saw a tut  on youtube using designer iPad, about designing a vector badge and the guy pulled out a rectangle and its grid was inside the rectangle only and it was snapping perfectly. There was no background grid on the page. Anytime I try and use the grid, if I pull out a rectangle it snaps to a grid but not on the grid lines. just slightly off of them. How can i get them to snap to the lines of the grid? and how do you get the grid to be inside your object only?  I have been at this for 2 days and have not found a solution to either problem. Please help.

Check in Document menu Snapping is set as shown (Settings as used in video are shown).

I don't think you can (but might be wrong). If you look closely at the video, grid lines ARE visible. The grid line colours have been set to a very light grey.
