Grid Snap

Move a Point to a Grid Intersection Point

Use the Grid Snap option to "snap" a point in an object to the nearest intersection of grid lines.

Note:   A grid should be displayed onscreen prior to using the Grid Snap option. If a grid is not loaded, and the Grid Snap option is selected, then a message displays. It is then possible, without exiting the option, to display a grid by selecting the Grid Properties button (on the Graphics toolbar).
