NBG Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 Hi, can somebody please explain why the object is magnetically fitted but the x-value is not an integer? The grid is set to 32 pixels, frame is 640x640 pixel... Quote
Dan C Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 Hi NBG As the object is a quick shape that has been Rotated and Sheared the nodes cannot remain exactly pixel aligned. We recommend using the Pen tool and snapping to a pixel grid to ensure the nodes remain aligned, I hope this helps! Quote
NBG Posted June 27, 2019 Author Posted June 27, 2019 Hi Dan! You mean drawing a shape with the Pen tool OR fix a node of the existing quick shape? I've drawed three shapes with the Pen tool and they snap into the grid perfectly but the X (and now W too!) are not integers: Is this maybe a mathematically problem? So when choosing 32's grid it can't be always integers? Thanks, NBG isodemo.afdesign Quote

I thought AFD is THE perfect tool for such isometric stuff :-( Also the export of the attached file shows lines between the shapes - but they don't have contours while editing or something :-( Quote
Old Bruce Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 All I can suggest is to turn of pixel snap and move and just have snap to objects on for the editing.

The diagram in this post is about the 2:1 isometric grid but maybe it will help explain why pixel values aligned to an iso grid can't always be integers.
