#PLS CADD WILL NOT SNAP TO SELCTER SETTINGS FREE#

snap to guides and guide intersections only.

they should snap regardless.Ī suggestion would be the option in preferences for 5 check boxes in smart guides or selection & anchor display: I dont think one should have to have smart guides on to get a good solid snap to guides or intersections of guides. I know even with smart guides are on, the problem there is when your illustration is detailed smart guides snaps to every other objects side and centre so its like driving around in mud a bit as you constantly get stuck from the snapping to different objects. I also set the snap to 8 points tolerance to give me more of a magnet when moving in but that doesnt help much. Setting preference guides to show measurement labels and smart guides helps me know when the point has snapped when zoomed out, otherwise yes it is hard to tell, and you have to move in slowly when zoomed out, it doesnt give you that solid snap feeling, Illustrator can also snap to guides and points, but as you experienced, its a bit slippery when zoomed out, it doesnt snap so easily,Ī quick demo video to show what happens and preferences settings.

I`ve never used free hand or corel draw but I`m confident they are great programs, You had the option of Snap to Guides, AND Snap to Points.Ĭan someone tell me if Smart Guides just don't work properly and why do we have such ridiculous precision errors when we want to draw very precise.? In Freehand doing these kind of tasks was so much easier and totally precise when you did that.

When you grab a rectangle and want to place it in the corner of a guide intersection, you need to grab the exact corner to do that and drop it very close to the intersection and it does snap to the guides, BUT when you grab the rectangle from the middle (when you don't have the "Object Selection by Path Only" activated) it's impossible to snap it to any guide!!! That is a bum! So I need to activate the bounding box, zoom in resize on one corner then go to the other and do the same, it's ridiculous. I have 2 guides one vertical and one horizontal that cross eacother, I want to start a rectangle (Tool M) from the intersection to another intersection of another 2 guides, when you place the cursor near the starting intersection it doesn't snap to the guides, neither on the other intersection where you want the rectangle to end! Smart Guides don't work most of the time.įORGET THE GRID (not the point in this problem). I upgraded to CS5 from Freehand X, due to the fact the in OS Lion, Freehand doesn't work anymore and unfortunatelly finally died.Īfter more than 20 years using Freehand, I have noticed how hard it is to work with precision guides and snaping in illustrator CS5, instead of drawing precise objects in precise locations, it takes you 3x longer because you cannot snap to guides, the objects you draw are never aligned properly with a big error probability, so you have to double check always, adjust. I'm an architect and use Illustrator to do detail and presentation plans that need to be very precise.
