Do you understand the difference between grid spacing and snap sensitivity?
I probably didn't and that was the problem ;-) My issue was about precision in snapping but in fact, playing with it more yesterday evening I remarked that setting the snapping to a very large number of screen pixels will only let me put nodes on grid points, which is exactly what I want for a precise work.
Cool, thanks for the clarification. This (AFAIK) again leaves Scislac as the only person who insists on specifying snap sensitivity in document units :)
No, I too insist on it. And to make matters worse your Con is my Pro. :) You say "screen based snapping units stop the snapping from jumping across the screen at high zoom." I say "Document based snapping units allow me to enforce alignment to a grid even at high zoom." When I say enforce I mean lines fall only on the grid no matter what, and never in the no-mans-land between adjacent snapping thresholds. I still believe both camps are legitimate use cases. (And the "enforcement" camp can benefit from snapping to gridlines that have become hidden because of super low zooms too. :) )
