Snap and Grid Setup
In the general project options dialog you can choose the kind of grid and its activation.
Shortcut: I
Virtual projects have an object grid, area grid, beat grid, and frame grid. In the object
grid, the objects may only be moved to the start, end or the hotspot ("Object -> Set
hotspot/delete hotspot"). The reference point is normally the front edge of the object
that is to be moved. As soon as a hotspot has been defined for the object, this is what
will be used. If several objects are selected, alignment takes place at the forward edge
of the hotspot of the object that was selected last, and is currently located under the
mouse cursor. The intervals between the selected projects stay constant.
Grid: Checking the tick box turns snap on globally.
Object grid: This option activates the object grid. This lets objects snap exactly to the
edges of other objects.
Snap to range: Activates the range grid with the option to use the current range as
the basis for snapping.
Grid/bars: Activates a grid with bars as the basis. The objects snap to the the next
beat grid.
Grid/bars (Relative): Activates a grid with bars as the basis. This means that the
relative distances between the objects adhere to the beat grid when you move them
about.
Grid/frames: Activates the frame-based grid.
