Snapping in Distort mode?

Is there a way to snap a corner in distort mode to a guideline?

It works when I'm in the basic transform mode but when I hold ctrl on a corner and drag it to a guide line, it doesn't snap. Any advice? Thanks! 🙂

I rather doubt it. AFAIK you can only snap edges to guides and not corners.  One tiny thing I will suggest though, is not to right click while using Free Transform so you can change between the options.  Just hold down the Cmd key and drag a handle.  Adding shift unrestrains aspect ratio, and Opt will mirror the change concentrically.

 

Another trick is to place your guides and drage the gris zero point to the guide intersection.  Then when moving things that don't snap, you can place them 100% acurately using zero,zero in the options bar, (if you know what I meean)?
