VectorCat Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I've been working with a file for 2 hours. I have everything related to snapping turned on, and when it actually happens, it's great. Sometimes it doesn't and I can't see why. I've changed no settings. I'll move an object or group closer and closer to a line - which is a snappable item - and AD lets me breeze right past it. Is there something I'm missing? OdatNurd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Try turning off some of the snapping options that don't apply to whatever you want to snap the object to. With all of them turned on, it can take a while for the app to sort through them all & decide what it should snap the object to.

Staff MEB Posted January 11, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hi VectorCat, Can you record a clip of the issue and post/upload the file you are working with? I can provide a link if you wish to keep the file private. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took the other respondent's advice, tried the move s-l-o-w-l-y and it didn't help...object still didn't snap to certain lines, nor were those lines "called out" by AD as being snappable. Strange..earlier in the day yesterday, it worked beautifully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorCat Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 I think I will try experimenting with candidates settings. I'm wireframing a website and so my grid is on a layer underneath all else and that relationship needs to be that way. thank you for the suggestion, Simon Edit: I changed the candidates to "All layers" - this might work well in this particular document because I shut off all layers/groups except for the page "chrome" and the layer I'm working on. Were all layers visible, I could see how AD would have fits trying to calc all the many candidates to show, and I don't think it would be much fun for the artist to try to tweeze the way through the potentially hundreds of candidates being shown, either!
