Dear JiHO,
thank you for your suggestion. The idea sounds like a real solution. I really like to have have all my lines snapping with there nodes to the grid. All the time, will all operations.
Now, the problem is, I can not find that suggested options!
Here my details: Inkskape 0.45 (Linux)
File->Inkspape Preferences... This gives me a dialog window in this window I select the option: Tools->Selector in this window I have options like: -> Show selection cue -> When transforming show (Objets | Box outline) -> Per-object selection cue (None | Mark | Box) -> default scal origin (Opposite bonding box edge | Farthest opposite node)
Well, that's it! There is no option "Bonding box to use".
Please advice.
Best regards

By default Inkscape uses the "visual" bounding box of objects to snap them. I.e. a simple line can snap to either of it's borders (and hence shift a bit from the grid). To make Inkscape precise you can switch to "geometric" bounding box snapping (Inkscape preferences > Tools > Selector > Bounding box to use). This way only nodes will snap and the line will be perfectly on grid. There is however a caveat with this setting currently: vertical or horizontal lines do not show any selection mark and can't be moved with the selector tool (their nodes can be moved with the node tool and they can be moved with arrow keys however).
To everyone:
- is this setting really at the best location? It seems a little hard
to find there.
- is there someone working on the previously mentioned bug currently?
It seems pretty important as it makes the geometric mode very hard to use
Cheers,
JiHO
