I AM a user. I use it every day. And though I don't use all features, I use grid snapping fairly often.
It is absolut necessary to snap to grid without see any grid. 1., With complex graphics it is very embarrassing to see grids, (grid points is bad, bad gridlines worst
It's one key press to turn it off. If you don't want to see it, likely you just want to view your image - turn grid off then. But if you want to move something AND snap when moving, press # to turn it on, so you can actually see WHAT is not yet snapped and WHERE it will snap when you move it.
(btw is there any way to use points instead of gridlines?))
Not currently, please file an RFE.
2., The actual gridlines will be hided with zoom off, so in this way you can snap, but can't see grids / but you can see thick gridlines, brrrr :(
This is exactly what I proposed to fix. It must snap only to those lines that are visible, which may be a subset of all lines, depending on zoom.
Give the possibility to hide grids (with snap on). It is unnecessary restriction (terror) to forbit it.
Wow. I didn't know I can become a terrorist by fixing bugs :)
If you really need that, you can just make your grid lines fully transparent, i.e. invisible.
