Dear all,

I am new to Inkscape, and I'm very much in the discovery phase.

I'm trying to understand how snapping works (I am aware of the snap controls bar, of the snap tab in the preferences, and of the snap tab in the document's properties). It seems to work all right when creating a new object. However no snapping happens when moving an existing object. This behavior is very counter-intuitive to me. In GIMP for instance when snapping is enabled it works when moving objects too.

Is this the normal behavior ? If yes, how can I do precision work when copy-pasting objects (I need to draw a timeline, with 120 rectangles, one for each month for 10 years) ?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Pierre.
