Grid Problems

[mcp6453]

In Vision 2002, I have the snap to grid function enabled, whatever it is
called, but strange things are happening. Sometimes objects get off grid
and cause very fine zig zags in connectors. It is necessary to press
Shift and use the arrow keys to get rid of the zig zags. I thought that
if I move one object in relation to another that it would eventually
snap correctly, but it doesn't. As the flow charts get more complex, the
problem is more troublesome. How can I get everything back on grid? Why
did it line up off-grid?

Is this problem a bug? If so, has it been fixed in later versions?

The problem is that the shapes are snapping to the outside edges of the shape
and it appears that the shapes you are using are of different sizes. You can
simplify the correction problem by selecting the shapes and aligning them on
their centers.
