Snap to Grid - Max 6

Is it possible to disable the 'snap to grid' or 'snap to object' features temporarily? That is, do I have to wait until I open a new patch before the changes take place?

I often need to disable the 'snap' functions to align certain objects manually, but I find myself having to deselect the 'snap' functions, close the patch, and reopen it.

There must be an easier way. Am I missing something?

Thanks : )

You can use the arrow keys to move a selected object. Not sure if this is much help?

Take a look at the "Snap to Grid" command in the Arrange menu, and you'll see that it has a command key equivalent for toggling it on and off: command-option-G.

Just what I was looking for! I was wondering where the option went to!

Thanks a lot : )

Not sure if this is helpful for your situation, but to override alignment guides and snapping, you can hold down the cmd key while moving objects around.
