Hold down the Command key when moving the magnet around, that will temporarily disable the smart guides. As for snapping to the grid, magnets are considered zero-by-zero entities, so unfortunately they're not selectable and can't snap to the grid (we wish to change this for a future release). Hope that helps, Joel On Feb 17, 2010, at 3:34 PM, Gary Treible wrote: > I'm trying to make an integrated circuit symbol, which is essentially a rectangle with pins (horizontal lines) spaced evenly along the sides. I'm placing a magnet on the shape where I want each line to start. Unfortunately, when I get near 1/4, 1/2, or 3/4 the height of the rectangle, a blue line appears and my magnet jumps to a location I don't want. I'm sure there's a way to disable this behavior but I don't even know what it might be called to search for it in the help. How do I turn this off? > > Also, can I get magnets to snap to the grid? They seem free form except when I get near these dimensions of the shape. If magnets were going to snap to anything, I would think it would be the grid if I have that turned on. > > This has been very frustrating. > > Thanks for any help with this!_______________________________________________ > OmniGraffle-Users mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/omnigraffle-users
