snapping and groups


Recommended Posts

You can snap to objects on other layers, except as follows:

1. if the other layer is at a different scale;

2. if Layer Options is set to prevent it; or

3. while editing a group.

That part about the group editing has always been true. I think of a group as a kind of un-named sub-layer, and the idea seems to be that you can only snap through one level of layering. Similarly, while editing a sub-group of one group, you can't snap to objects in other groups on the same layer.

Sometimes it's useful, but sometimes it's a pain. To work around the painful times, I often temporarily copy things onto the current layer (via the excellent "Paste in Place" command).
