Snap to Grid

Toggles the grid alignment of objects. If the Snap to Grid function is active, then the mouse can only define points which are on the grid. This function, however, can also be used in conjunction with other the functions ("Snap to Guidelines" or "Snap to Objects"). The grid refinement can be changed in the Options dialog window, which can be activated with the menu command Tools - Options.

Snap to Guidelines

Toggles the guideline alignment of objects. If the Snap to Guidelines function is active then the mouse can only define points which are located on guidelines. E.g. a moved object will automatically snap to a guideline. You can set guidelines by either clicking on a ruler or by setting them in the Options dialog window, which can be activated with the menu command Tools - Options.

Snap to Object

Toggles the object alignment of objects. If the Snap to Object function is active, then the mouse defines points on other objects. Moving an object near a node on another object will cause the object to snap to that node.
