Applying object hinting
Object hinting allows you to improve object rendering by adjusting the display of an object so that it lines up with the pixel grid. For
example, if you’re creating a button for the web, you can enable object hinting to ensure the object appears clean and sharp when
exporting it as a bitmap.
The Pixel view of a square (left) with a 1-pixel line width that was created without
object hinting. A copy of the square (right) displayed with object hinting applied.

Snapping objects
When you move or draw an object, you can snap it to another object in a drawing. You can snap an object to various snap points on the
target object. When you move the pointer close to a snap point, the snap point becomes highlighted, which identifies it as the pointer’s
snapping target.
