Hi all, In the latest revisions you will notice that Inkscape now has a snapping tab in the preferences dialog. It contains some non-document specific settings, such as for example the snap indicator toggle. There are some new parameters too though: 1) You can now specify the snapping delay (as promised a few weeks ago) 2) I've added a slider which controls which type of snapping Inkscape will prefer. When multiple snap solutions are found, then Inkscape can either prefer the closest transformation (when the weight-slider is set to 0; this is the old mode), or prefer the node that was initially the closest to the pointer (when the slider is set to 1). The way Inkscape calculates the preferred snap has been improved too, which should lead to more predictable snapping 3) There's a toggle to force Inkscape to only try snapping the (source) node that is closest to the mouse pointer, à la Coreldraw. When this mode is enabled a snap indicator will shortly be shown at that node. This will give you maximum control of the snapping which is useful for more complex drawings with many nodes. Have a try and let me know what you think of it.... Diederik
