00Ghz Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Same here. Put a big shape on top, no ones under will never become a candidate. Besides the fact that you hover all the time. :) Quote UI Designer, CG Artist Macbook Pro 15" 2014 2.5 Ghz, 750M https://www.behance.net/VladMafteiuScai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Ben Posted May 27, 2015 Staff Share Posted May 27, 2015 When working a complex drawing it would be handy to be able to select one shape to always stay a candidate, or never become a candidate. My drawing has hundreds of shapes all intertwined and I seem to spend a lot of time hovering. Alex, I'm assuming you are kidding on that suggestion! :o Not a bad idea. I can look into it. Certainly, the option to never snap to certain objects would be easy enough - that could also be a persisted option, per object. The option to keep an object as a snapping candidate would need some thought. I don't want to add new UI panels to cater for snapping candidates. hawk 1 Quote SerifLabs team - Affinity Developer Software engineer - Photographer - Guitarist - Philosopher iMac 27" Retina 5K (Late 2015), 4.0GHz i7, AMD Radeon R9 M395 MacBook (Early 2015), 1.3GHz Core M, Intel HD 5300 iPad Pro 10.5", 256GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodich Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Sometimes I need to deselect candidate, how to do that? And snapping often works bad, even if I have candidates (for example obj1 and obj 2). Obj1 is snapping to obj2 but obj2 is not snapping to similar points of obj1. hawk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oval Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Sometimes I need to deselect candidate, how to do that? And snapping often works bad, … Still not possible with one candidate. Hopefully we will see some light next week … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted May 1, 2016 Staff Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hi bodich, There will be improvements to the snapping in the next Beta 1.5. In the current Beta it's not possible to remove candidates. Regarding the second question, can you be more specific or post a small video of what are you doing? Are you aware of the local snapping options for the Pen and Node tools in the context toolbar?

sarahgould Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Woah! I did not realize this was how snapping worked! I was having so much trouble getting things to snap together - probably because this technique does NOT work with my Wacom tablet. When I am dragging an object and hover over another object I wish to snap to... nothing happens. Possibly because the tablet pen is never still enough, even if the cursor doesn't appear to move. On my wishlist: better tablet support, the ability to remove snapping candidates (maybe they fade over time), and the ability to show all snapping candidates but only when dragging.

Snapping works when I use my mouse. However, when I use my Wacom tablet, snapping is the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleay Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'm encountering these same layering issues with snapping - seems it's not possible to snap to objects below an existing snapping candidate. So far I've been managing it by hiding / showing layers and sorting the object stack, but it's not ideal. Is there an issue with allowing the addition of candidates through / below existing candidates? Otherwise perhaps a way to remove them as discussed above... hawk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
