Hi all, 

 

I am trying to get the snap to grid function off on XD and there's no way I can make it work. I am trying to do a bullet point that is selected, and the circle inside keeps jumping from one side to the other but not right on the middle! Can anybody help me please?

 

Thank

I have recently started working with XD and I am really dissapointed how less personalisation we have comparing to for example Illustrator. When you hit view, you have a few options and when you go to edit>prefeences you can only change...language :c it is really frustating. 
Stating all of it, I didn't find any snap box to uncheck :c

      Hi, 

      So here is another example of what I am trying to do. I want to center the arrow in the middle of the circle, and when I move it, the arrow jumps or way higher or much lower.  I feel the arrow jumps around giving me the feeling that its snapping to a grid.

      I am not able to place it exactly where I want, I am being restricted of placing exactly where I need it to be. I dont have this issue with Illustrator - is just on XD.
