NBG Posted June 25, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted June 27, 2019 Staff Share 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!

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

NBG Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted June 27, 2019 Share 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.
