I'm having a problem when I have 'Snap to Grid' turned on. The object always snaps to the grid with the upper left corner node(?). Is there a way to make it snap to a side or middle node(?)?
Some objects have a line coming out from the middle of one or more sides (see the 'Horizontal Relay'). If I resize the object these lines won't necessarily line up with the grid. When I then insert a 'line' or 'zigzag line' it snaps to the grid but doesn't align with the lines on the side of the object. Yes you can 'connect' the line to the objects node(?0 but there is always a slight jump in the line. Here is an example of what I a m talking about. Open a new diagram. Choose the 'Electric' sheet and insert the 'Horizontal Relay' onto the diagram. Zoom in to 800%. Notice that the two lines coming out the sides of the object are on the grid line. Now change the size of the object one 'notch' by dragging the corner or the side in or out. The lines coming out the side of the object no longer rest on the grid line. No amount of movement will get those lines back on to the grid. I would like these lines to not have that jump in them as I use these diagrams to present ideas to customers and it just doesn't look clean. I could turn off the 'Snap to Grid' but that kind of defeats the purpose of having it available, i.e. to make clean diagrams.
