Full screen here. I don't "fake" alignments when using the cursor for drawing, but I do for some annotations and things I want to appear lined up on the plot but which actually don't need to be aligned precisely.
I do use it with the dynamic data display to get approximate distance measurements sometimes, then I actually type the exact distance I want.
This begs the question, "How often do you use the grid snap?"
I use mine rarely, for little I draw is so regular that it is a convenient strategy. Also, I hate changing the snap increment all the time, and when something is really regular I prefer to use ARRAY.
Also, what about the Dynamic Grid?
I seem to hate that thing. I want the grid set to my limits, and that is that. Am I missing out on something powerful there?
