Snapping controls to the alignment grid

Snap to grid means controls are automatically aligned to grid points.

If this feature is enabled, the corner handles of a control automatically move from one grid point to another grid point when you move or resize the control. When you add a control to a document, the top left corner of the control is aligned to a grid point. When you click and drag in the Layout area while creating a control, all corners of the control are aligned to the grid.

If snap to grid is disabled, you can add, move, or resize controls without reference to the alignment grid. That is, the corners do not automatically move to grid points. To temporarily disable snap to grid, press the CTRL key while moving or sizing controls.

To disable/enable snap to grid

By default, snap to grid is enabled. If the alignment grid is hidden, you can display it.

  1. Open the document in the Document Editor. (How?)

  2. From the Format menu, select Snap to Grid. If Snap to Grid was enabled, it is now disabled; if it was disabled, it is now enabled.
