Re: Magnet snaps to 1/4, 1/2, or 3/4 the height of a rectangle

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

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?
