How do I turn off grid snap in Adobe Animate?

Published in Adobe Animate 2 mins read

To disable grid snap in Adobe Animate, go to the View menu and uncheck the "Snap" option.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Steps to Disable Grid Snap:

  1. Navigate to the View Menu: At the top of the Adobe Animate interface, click on the "View" menu.
  2. Locate the Snap Option: In the dropdown menu, find the "Snap" option.
  3. Toggle the Checkmark: If "Snap" has a checkmark next to it, click on it to remove the checkmark. This disables the grid snapping feature.

Temporary Override:

  • If you disable "View > Snap", holding down the Control key (or Command key on Mac) will temporarily enable snapping. Conversely, if snapping is enabled, holding down the Control/Command key will temporarily disable it. This provides quick flexibility.

Understanding Grid Snap:

Grid snap is a feature that helps you align objects precisely to an invisible grid while you're drawing or moving them. While it's useful for creating structured designs, you might want to turn it off for more freeform work. Disabling grid snap gives you finer control over object placement.
