I’ve learned so much from your tutorials, thanks!
I have a question that I can’t seem to find an answer for on the net. Snapping is new to me, and when I try to snap two object edges together, the objects overlap instead of snapping edge to edge.
I’m running Inkscape 0.48 that a friend compiled for me. (Don’t know if that’s the reason.)
Any ideas or advice?
Thanks!

@Lisa
I’m on build 0.47+devel r9541. I’m not seeing the same behavior. I’m snapping two squares together with the bounding box snap. No overlapping. It seems to behave as it should. Have you tried turning off all snap options and one by one flipping them on to see what works? Maybe if snapping isn’t working then you could opt to use Align and Distribute instead.

Hi Lisa,
Snapping seems to work fine for me on 0.47. You should make sure you’ve got snapping enabled along with ‘snap bounding box corners’ and ‘snap to edges’. For some reason you have to have the corners setting enabled to enable the ‘edges’. Doesn’t make sense to me. But here’s a screenshot of what I mean: http://imagebin.ca/view/XU6mkdZa.html
Of course you might have done all this and still it doesn’t work right. In that case I’m probably not much help (as usual).

You guys rock, thanks!
The problem was that I was going into my Inkscape preferences only… I was too blind to see that the snap buttons were there all along. That screenshot really helped. I appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Muchos, muchos gracias!
