Snap to Grid behavior is inconsistent across versions?

252 Views

I'm testing the preview version of CR 2011 and I can't get Snap To Grid to work. As I move objects around, the movement is very smooth and objects can be placed anywhere on the grid. I thought this was a bug, so I go into CR 2008 to see how it behaves;it does the same thing. Now I spend 95% of my time in Visual Studio .NET 2008, and I know that Snap To Grid restricts me to moving objects only along the grid increments. Confused, I go to the help file and it says that for CR 2008 that Snap To Grid only enforces the grid positioning when adding a new database field to the report.

So it appears that Snap To Grid has a different behavior in CR 2008/2011 than it does in VS .NET 2008/2005? I find it hard to believe that this was by design. Either it should snap to grid while moving objects or not, but it should not behave differently in the standalone version versus the embedded version.

Any comments or observations?

Thanks!
