Better snap to items when starting a shape

Help us improve Penpot
1

I think most of the time the snapping is amazing and works as expected. Eg: when resizing rectangle, etc

The one notable exception is the initial click and drag when starting to create a new shape. That just won’t snap to the corect item. It feels like it’s impossible to get it to snap to anything. It’s funny that when I resize the item it snaps happily, so perhaps it’s an easy fix.

Thanks

Hi @hza,

Thank you for the suggestion :slightly_smiling_face:

We have a user story already in our backlog to look into improving this but it hasn’t been prioritized yet, you can find the details here.

I’d like to bump this one with an “I’m interested too”. Especially snapping guides to existing layers would help immensely. I often block out a layout using rectangles, then move guides to their edges and delete the rectangles.
