Re: Adding line automatically sets to centre?!?

[Michael Ross <michael e ross gmail com>]

It is a personal judgement.  The center is a good place to start a line for many objects, but not so good for ending.  That said. I turn off object snap most of the time.

There is a little icon you can pick anytime to toggle object snap (my Dia shows it in the toolbar).  In one state it is a blue outline square with connection points, in the ON state it is a blue square highlighted in red with a green grip shown in the center.

Fantastic stuff!  Working lovely now.  As a note shouldn't "Snap To Objects" be unticked by default, surely other users might have the same problem.

Thanks for your help!

Hello Gareth,

you can disable the snapping behaviour by deselecting "View-YSnap to Objects" in the menubar.
