Grid & Snap Settings Panel

The Grid & Snap panel lets you configure grid display and snap behavior. Click the grid icon button on the right side of the toolbar to show it at the shared full-height right-panel size.

When grid snap is on, nodes snap to grid lines while creating, moving, or resizing. During node-creation drags, both the start vertex (top-left) and the end vertex are snap targets. For rotated nodes, the rotated corners and center are snap targets. Off by default.

When smart snap is on, real-time guides help alignment with node and canvas division positions. A division count of 2 snaps to edge-center-edge positions; 3 snaps to edge, one-third, two-thirds, and edge positions. While snapping to another node, the node providing the guide is highlighted with the same dashed outline used for selection. During node-creation drags, both start and end vertices also snap to guides. Rotated nodes snap using their rotated corners, edge midpoints, and centers. In multi-page mode, canvas division positions on other pages are also snap targets. On by default.

When the toolbar’s Corner Linking toggle is on, text / rect / svg / image / builtin nodes whose corners coincide within the snap threshold become linked. Corner linking remains active when smart snap is off. Linked nodes move together not only when resizing a shared corner but also when translating, so grid-like layouts can behave like a table. Connection nodes are excluded.
