Thanks Diederik!
Ok, so it seems that snapping to group centers can only work when snapping to nodes is disabled (and the only option enabled is snap to center).
Since 0.91, it seems that snapping to nodes is required for many more situations, so I've been keeping them generally always "on". And the idea that certain options only "work" when other options are disabled, did not occur to me.
Even with the options set up properly, it looks like the group centers can only snap to guides or grids. Is that correct? They can't be snapped to nodes, since nodes are disabled. And I can't seem to snap to the center of other groups either.
At the time when this problem came up, I was trying to snap a group of circles which are arranged in a circle, to another group of objects which are arranged in a circle -- so that they all share the same center.
I guess that (snapping group center to group center) can only be accomplished using a grid or guide to accept the snap?
Thanks again, brynn

Sorry Brynn, I missed your earlier message for some reason :-(
Yes, this is possible. I'll send you a screen capture with a demo privately, it's too big to attach here.

I don't think this is un-answerable. But maybe the reason the center of a group can't snap is similar to the reason why it's not possible to snap/snap to, center/rotation center of an object which has no fill?
Thanks again :-)

Hi Friends, Are we supposed to be able to snap, or snap to, the center or rotation center of groups? I can't seem to make it happen. I can snap to the centers of individual objects in the group, but not the center of the group. I tend to think of a group as a type of object. But maybe not?
Thanks for any clarification :-) brynn
