Making objects ‘Snap To’ a background grid
By far the most useful feature of background grids is the ability to make objects automatically ’snap’ to the gridlines.
Although this feature is initially turned off when a grid is added to add a flipchart page, it can be switched on in a few clicks of the mouse.
After adding a grid to your page as described here, select the cursor arrow from the main toolbox and double left-click on an empty part of the grid.
A small horizontal toolbox will appear marked Page Edit:
In this new toolbox, click the Snap To icon. Any objects and text on your page will automatically align themselves to the gridlines whenever you move them.
To switch this feature off, click on the Snap To Icon again.
