To
snap items to a grid or guide
- Choose Page View from the View menu.
- Make sure that Snap to Grid or Snap to Guide
is selected under View the menu > Grid/Guides. See To
set up a grid and To
set up guides for information on creating and setting up guides and
grids.
- Select a tool (such as the Expression Tool)
that is enabled in the Items to Snap to Grid or Items to Snap to Guide
dialog box.
- Select a handle and move the item. The
item will snap to the nearest grid point or guide line when you release
the mouse button. Items will snap to a guide line only if they are moved
to within the guides gravity zone. This is set up in the Grid/Guide Options
dialog box.
To temporarily override the Snap function,
press option
while dragging the item. Guides override the grid if both are being used
and the item is dragged within the gravity zone of the guide.
