graphics object must be in the snap range. You can also use the Snap
to Object Border icon on the Options toolbar.
To object points

of the nearest graphic object. The cursor or a contour line of the
graphics object must be in the snap range. You can also use the Snap

Snap range
defines the snap distance between the mouse pointer and
the object contour. Impress snaps to a snap point if the mouse pointer
is nearer than the distance selected in the Snap range box.
Snap position section
When creating or moving objects
restricts graphic objects vertically,
horizontally or diagonally (45°) when creating or moving them. You can
temporarily deactivate this setting by pressing the
Shift
key.
Extend edges
creates a square based on the longer side of a rectangle
when the
Shift
key is pressed before you release the mouse button.
This also applies to an ellipse (a circle will be created based on the
longest diameter of the ellipse). When the Extend edges box is not
marked, a square or a circle will be created based on the shorter side
or diameter.
When rotating
restricts the rotation of graphic objects within the
rotation angle that you selected in the When rotating box. If you want
to rotate an object outside the defined angle, press the
Ctrl
key when
rotating. Release the key when the desired rotation angle is reached.
Point reduction
defines the angle for point reduction. When working
with polygons, you might find it useful to reduce their editing points.
