[SOLVED in .206] Pen Tool snapping to Grids works only after...


Recommended Posts

Hi there!

I noticed something when working with the Pen Tool and the Grids.

  • When I open Publisher, show the Grid and Select the Pen Tool, it won't snap to the Grid.

  • However, it will snap to the Center of the Page.

  • Only after I Zomm In, Zoom Out, Minimize/Restore/Maximize the Window, or start drawing lines with the Pen Tool it will snap to the Grid.

It's not something critical but it's something that work nicely in the current retail version of Photo and Designer.

And just in case it's useful, here are the settings I use, for snapping and for the Pen Tool.

It seems odd to me that you have two Snapping icons on the Toolbar, @Mithferion:

@Mithferion, It looks like you're not using the current version. Maybe it's different in the 157 ...

I found this glitch in the previous version, but I decided to update to check if it was still present. I can confirm that this is the 157 version.

Yeah, it's odd. I didn't even noticed them until you pointed it out. However, if I take away the icon to the right, it can't be brought back.

Best regards!

.157 updated the Toolbar layout, but to get it you need to hold Ctrl while starting the program and then reset the user defaults.

Perhaps you should try that?

I restored all to defaults. It's all good now.

Thanks!

P. S.: And the snapping thing is still there. :P
