When placing an object using snap to grid this works fine when zoom-level is 100% fex with grid spacing of 10, the coordinates of a rectangle change from 0-10-20-... If zoomlevel is other than 100%, then the coordinates no longer jumps to an integer multiple of grid spacing. Instead you fex may get 610.166625977 etc.. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/1/81d47c44083d1f80745a4324affadd31f68f568d.png) This is really annoying. -Placing objects using grid in Vision is in my opinion the most effective way. Using 5 or 10px -Zoom level is something I use all the time, since many of my windows contains many details -Even when returning to 100% zoom I am no longer able to place the rectangle on an "integer" coordinate. I read others have experienced the same thing -Please comment if there is a viable workaround, or I am doing something wrong -If this is an actual issue I really hope this may be fixed ASAP because in my opinion this is a basic fuctionality that must work. ---

I saw issues with grid snapping when I first started with igntion 5?6? Years ago now. The component used to jiggle while moving the mouse about a grid point. I haven’t use the grid since though in all these years. I use the alignment tools and the x y positions 🤷‍♂️ ---

Thanks for info. I will look into other ways of woking efficiently, but still I really think this should work in all zoom levels! In your opinion and experience: is this the correct forum to report this kind of things? I see people sometimes get som “expert advice” from Ignition emploees. -Or is there another dedicated “feedback-channel” for bug-reports and feature requests? j. ---

For feature requests: [https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/](https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/) For bug reports: [Support Home Page | Inductive Automation](https://inductiveautomation.com/support/home/) This forum is an officially unofficial venue. If you’re lucky and get a dev in the right mood, you might get a ticket _filed_ faster, but there’s no guarantee of that, and it’s still going to go through the same triage process as everything else, so it won’t actually get _fixed_ any faster. As for the main issue in this thread: It’s probably unavoidable floating point precision issues while zoomed in. That said, it should absolutely work at integer resolutions once you’re back to normal zoom levels. ---
