Fine grained control over objects

Is there anyway to get fine grained control over objects? I’m trying to build diagrams and even with snap to grid turned off the objects are “magnetically” attracted to each other making precise line placements impossible. This is the most frustrating diagramming tool I’ve ever used and that includes Visio Pro 5 from 30 years ago!

    Hi ​@Andrew Montague ! Sorry for the late reply here but it’s possible to disable “alignment guides” and “gap guides” which stops shapes from automatically aligning to each other. Is this the behavior you were looking for? 

    On that note, do you have any other feedback that could help us improve the tool? 

    Thanks,

    That appears to have helped. I’ve not spent long testing it but it does initially seem to allow me to place objects where I want. Thank you.
