For some reason 'snap to' will not turn off. I've done the obvious by clicking the snap to drop down and checking them on and off, and by going to snap to in the 'View' drop down. Everything shows that all are turned off, all are acting as turned on. I haven't changed anything, at least to my knowledge. It simply started a few weeks ago and is driving me mad. Hopefully someone out there knows how to fix this. I'm betting it's something simple. I watched a video that showed going to set up in the view drop down to make changes, but I have to set up option under the view tab. Thank you for your help!
Which "snap to" function? Or all?
Dump temp files and restart the program.
All.
How do I dump temp files?
For Windows in general? CCleaner?
Ccleaner and others could help, if you want to clean up manually go to Start menu and type %temp%
on the following list, select all and delete. Some files could be in use, so maybe you can't delete it, for this reason is better to close all programs before search temp files
Made no difference. Still snapping to everything!
I've used the Snap To button, View/Snap To, and Tools/Customization/Snap To. Nothing will turn it off. I can't imagine what started this. Just one day a couple weeks ago this issue came up and won't stop.
Have you tried switching to a "clean" default Workspace in CorelDRAW?
Quoting myself from another thread:
If you want to test a workspace reset without permanently throwing away any workspace customization:
That would allow you to go back later and try the saved-with-a-distinctive-name workspace.
Just to add on to this, I'm running CorelDraw X7 and have also recently noticed the Snap to Objects not working. I tried deleting the (over 2k) Temp files as suggested above but on re-starting Corel, the problem was still there.I therefore tried the F8 Factory Restart method, re-installed my preferred workspace and that has fixed it. There are possibly a few small changes to the workspace since I last saved it that I may/may not set up again and maybe I could/should have saved it before hitting F8 ... but maybe that would have saved the problem as well.Clutching at straws in my technological ignorance, I'm thinking this points to a glitch in Corel rather than the OS, not that it really makes much difference - I'm just happy that it's back again. It's only a fairly simple thing, but does make life much easier when setting up my engraving template lines.
