You can snap objects to other objects, to page elements (such as the center of the page), to the document grid, pixel grid, baseline grid, and guidelines. When editing symmetry groups, you can also snap objects to symmetry lines. All these snapping options can be turned on or off from the View menu and from the Snap to button on the standard toolbar.
When you need to turn off the selected snapping options temporarily, you can disable all snapping from the Snap off button on the standard toolbar or the View menu. To restore the selected snapping options, you can enable snapping by using the same controls.
