What I want to do: I have an irregular (so non rectangular) shaped object, which has points which should snap to the grid, when I move the group (so I can easily lay another object of another shape but same kind next to it and the points meet). These points are not on one of the center-lines and are also not the edges. Is there a way to do this?
You cannot do this in Selector tool because it only snaps the outer nodes of a shape (in the "snap nodes" mode), not all nodes. But you can do this with Node tool. Just select all nodes of a shape and drag any of them - all the shape will move, snapping by all its nodes.
That works fine if I only have one shape. If I for example try to have a group of one rectangle and one line it doesn't work. I can't select all nodes if the objects were grouped, so I tried to combine them. Then I can select all nodes, but still I'm not able to make them snap to the grid. If I combine them and select all the nodes of only one shape (either the line or the rectangle) I can move the shape while snapping works, but not if both are selected.
