- Snapping properties
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The snapping properties allow you to divide the scene into a grid and place the objects in the cells of the grid. This is a very useful technique to keep the objects properly aligned.

- * **Enabled property**: activates the snapping. You can change the value in the |InspectorView|_ with the ``E`` key.
- * **Snapping Width and Height**: is the size of the grid to snap the objects. You can change it in the |InspectorView|_. Also, you can select an object and execute the **Snap To Object Size** command.
- Context menu
- ````````````
- The context menu of the scene shows the **Snapping** sub-menu with the snapping commands:
- * Toggle Snapping (``E``).
- * Snap To Object Size (``W``). This command takes the size of the selected object and sets it as the snapping size values of the scene.
- * Move Object Position commands. These translate the selected object in any direction by the snapping size (``Arrow keys``) or 10x the snapping size (``Shift+Arrow keys``). If snapping is disabled, these commands translate the selected object by 1 or 10 pixels.
