So I'm trying to make a golden ratio template for myself and my canvas is in points (792 pt by 612 pt)
I'm starting off with a 10pt by 10pt square and circle, but no matter what I do, they won't snap to each other, so they look like this right now:
This is what the preferences for my Grids & Guides looks like as well as Smart Guides:
Smart Guides, Snap to Grid and Snap to point are all checked in the view tab, but the problem still persists.
Any suggestions as what I should do?
Thanks.

Maybe your gridline every 1 pt with 10 subdivisions is a little too much (try 10pt with 10 divisions).
And try not to activate too many snap to functions at the same time.

I tried that, I'm still having problems. Especially when I try to scale.
I'm trying to make a Golden Ratio Template for myself, and as you can see the bigger square and circle don't align.

I would suggest turning off Snap to grid.
You may want to create this kind of graphics with the X, Y, H & W settings though the Control Panel. If one object is off then you will have problems with the other objects.

Elena,
If you turn off all the (unnecessary) constrictions including this,

and just keep Snap to Point, you can use Align and/or Smart Guides, and enjoy.

Turn off all the various snaps and just use align.
