Snapping Objects to the Grid Drawing includes a feature that automatically snaps (or positions) objects along grid lines when you create them. If you activate this feature, when you draw or resize a graphic object, Drawing automatically snaps the corners of the object to the closest intersection of the grid lines. Snapping objects to the grid is often faster and more accurate than positioning them manually with the mouse. If you create an object while the snapping feature is inactive, you can still align it to the grid. When you move an object, Drawing keeps its former distance from the grid lines. For example, if an ellipse starts 1/4 inch from a vertical grid line and you move it horizontally, Drawing puts it 1/4 inch from the closest vertical grid line in its new location, as shown in the following illustration: "To snap objects to the grid or guidelines: 1.
