Have you zoomed close enough to see the snapping? You have the
grid
spaced 1pt, which means the snaps are quite small and you may
simply
not notice them if you're not zoomed. Note that in zoom-out, not
all
grid lines are shown, and it may actually snap to the invisible
grid
lines in between the visible ones.
I now zoomed close. It seems there is snapping but it does not feel
as
hard as it used to. It's quite easy to leave the snap.
The "strength" of snapping is the Snap Distance setting. Per your screenshot, it's 1pt as well, so it must snap everywhere. By default in 0.41, it's 0.4px while grid spacing is 1px, which means there is some no-snap zone 0.2px wide in between the grid lines.
However you give me an idea:
- What if we allow it to snap only to the visible grid lines, i.e.
only to 10px lines if 1px lines are too dense and thus hidden?
- With this change, the snap distance should be made a percentage of
grid spacing rather than a fixed value.
What do others think?
Sounds good to me... almost what would be expected since it is what you are seeing. (vs snapping to the hidden grid lines because you are zoomed out too far)
