Hi,

Try turning on your grids by going View> Show Grid.

Next go View> Snap to Grid:

thankyou your your reply mate . but can i ask is that possible only on " snap to point" ? because i want to move the rectangle smooth as possible not by grid .

Snap to Grid is one way. When you size and move shapes, they will constrain to the grid, which can be set in Preferences. In the example above, the grid is at the default 1/8 inch.

Here's another way that I like better when a grid doesn't work for me:

• In the View menu, confirm Snap to Point is checked
• Deselect all shapes (important)
• Use the Selection tool to grab the anchor point of one shape and drag it to the anchor point on the other shape. The cursor will change color from black to white when the anchor points are touching. The one anchor point will snap to the other.

Some people turn off the bounding box for this. I prefer to just deselect.

thankyou you get my point . i have another question before this is working properly to my illustrator but now it doesnt i dont know what is the problem . When i put the cursor on the middle of the circle tto make the rectangle or square why there are no smart guide that shows that is the center or putting my cursor to the left or right and

it doesnt show either, snap to grid is not worki

are you sure that Smart Guide mode is On? you could occasionally turn it off, for example when switched betweenPreview and Outline mode or made clipping mask.

If you turned on Snap to Grid while exploring the earlier reply, you may not have turned it off. Snap to Grid disables Smart Guides.

Easy fix (if you know how!): Go to the View menu and turn off Snap to Grid.

[Filipin0]

the snap to grid is already disable only snap to point is enable

And Smart Guides still isn't working? Is it turned on?

[jane-e]

If Snap to Grid is off and Smart Guides and Snap to Point are both on, you might try:

• Quit and relaunch
• Reboot

If there is still an issue,

• Quit Illustrator and reset your preferences to go back to the factory/default settings.
