Snap text object to guide

Postby mrgou » Thu Oct 26, 2017 7:38 pm

Hi,

For some reason, text objects don't snap to guides like other objects such as shapes.

How can I snap text objects?

Thanks!

R.

There is a button to activate snapping to text anchors near the bottom of the snap bar. (The group of buttons must also be activated.)

Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/
