Question

Ruler/shapes snapping is frustrating

Dear Adobe Fresco developer team,

When I use the ruler or any other shape (circle, rectangular, triangle, etc. ) it snaps randomly to the place it wants on the canvas. So NOT only when I rotate it but even if I just move it to get to the right place. It seems that it wants to snap to a place on the canvas that it wants and it is frustrating to keep moving it to get to the right place! I understand that it is useful for the drawings where lines must be aligned but in my case I don't want them to be aligned, I just want the shapes to be exactly in the place that I want to!

Hello @Terry5C05,

I am sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind sharing more details about the OS/Illustrator version, the Snap settings currently enabled and a screen recording of your workflow and the problem, so we can better assist you?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

Hello. Using adobe fresco on ipad here.

 

What this person was complaining about 3 years ago is still a problem for me.

 

The problem is that the rulers snap in place when I don't want them to. The os version doesn't matter since it's simply something adobe fresco doesn't have, so I would suggest for there to be an option where you can turn off position snapping.

 

It's almost every time I use it that it creates issues. Snapping to place right where I DONT want it to be, and it doesn't even let me take it to the place I want. It's very frustrating.

 

I'd really love there to be a way to turn off Position snapping

I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Fresco forum so that proper help can be offered.
