Snapping
The Snapping feature simplifies placement and alignment by "magnetizing"
grid dots and guide lines. When snapping is on, the edges and centres of
objects you create, move, or resize will jump to align with the nearest visible
grid dot or guide. Objects normally snap to the page edge, too.
Guide lines include ruler guides as well as layout guide lines based on page
margins, rows, and columns (see Using layout aids on p. 44).
To turn snapping on and off:
• Click the Snapping button on the HintLine toolbar. When the button
is down, snapping is on.
Selective snapping
You control which points and lines are snapped to by showing or hiding the
individual guide elements (i.e., Rulers, Guide lines, Frames, Dot Grid, etc.),
and by changing options settings for those visible elements.
To show or hide guide elements:
Enab• le (or disable) the element name's button on the View menu.

element's name.
