To snap items to a grid or guide

  1. Choose View > Page View.
  2. Choose View > Grid/Guides > Snap to Grid or Snap to Guide. See To set up a grid and To set up guides for information on creating and setting up guides and grids.
  3. Select a tool (such as the Expression tool) that is enabled in the Items to Snap to Grid or Items to Snap to Guide dialog box.
  4. Select a handle and move the item. The item will snap to the nearest grid point or guide line when you release the mouse button. Items will snap to a guide line only if they are moved to within the guides gravity zone. This is set up in the Grid/Guide Options dialog box.

To temporarily override the Snap function, press CTRL while dragging the item. Guides override the grid if both are being used and the item is dragged within the gravity zone of the guide.
