This is something I've been meaning to comment of for ages :?
I've been in the habit of grouping objects for schematic components then surrounding them with an invisible bounding box (thinnest possible line with no colour) that is 1mm grid aligned.
This has worked perfectly on older versions of Inkscape so I could quickly and precisely position these objects. However with 0.47 the snap behaviour has become extremely difficult to handle. It seems now that every single point in the object will try to act as a snap focus and accurate positioning is a nightmare :(
Can anyone suggest a way to get bounding box only snapping?

When looking at the snap toolbar, the first two buttons must be enabled, and some of the next four or last three buttons should be enabled too. Have you set things up like that?

That was quick :o
Good call. It's not a toolbar I've used (or even noticed much), but the problem wasn't the failure to select those options, but that every single one was selected! I've no idea how that happened.
