snap & glue in building plans

[PaulUK]

Has anyone a simple guide to help understand the numerous options avaliable when it comes to defining what snaps to what and how various tick boxes influence other tick boxes. It seems to me that the whole system is very complicated. I have tried unticking all options execpt one to try and understand what an object will snap to. Prehaps snapping only works when you are drawing as opposed to moving an object.

Actually, snapping means sort of alignment of the shapes & drawings on the page according to the parameters chosen.
You can have your objects automatically positioned to the nearest "correct" position with relation the grid, the neighboring shape, the ruler, a.s.o.
Glueing means the same for connecting shapes. So you can only glue two or more shapes. You activate the glue options in order to avoid having two shapes connected unevenly.
If you set the right glue options, the shapes will snap into a set of two well aligned shapes automatically.
Snap: snap to grid, for single shapes and drawings.
Glue: glue to shape or drawing, for multiple objects

OK?
