Snapping to grid in two dimensions
-
I'm developing a tool where I'm locating a point that's offset in two directions from a starting point. I started with the example line tool, and things are working pretty well, but the snapping isn't what I would like. It snaps to the nearest 1/8", but in the 'diagonal' distance from the starting point. The x,y values I snap to are thus not multiples of 1/8". The built-in rectangle tool behaves like I want my tool to behave: it snaps to the grid in two dimensions. Does anyone know the trick for this? CB.

Sorry about bumping my own thread, but I'd really like to solve this one. The built-in rectangle tool does exactly what I want. You can see it by watching the VCB. Even though you are at a diagonal distance from the the first point, it snaps to even numbers in the cartesian directions.
I started with the line tool sample, but I modifed the VCB code to display the x and y offset values rather than the striaght-line length. But they are always some odd value with a ~. CB.
