sketch - disable constraints, but keep snap to grid

[henrich.achberger]

Hello,

I have been searching for simple feature, to disable all constraints while sketching but keep snapping to grid.  CTRL key will disable snapping completely, which I do not want.   

problem is apparent while trying to add line point over some edge on body, blue cross shows under cursor and it completely snaps on edge, but it moves freely along the edge.

also when I use move tool, gizmo have two arrows, that snap on one axis, but square part of gizmo doesn't snap on grid at all.  therefore I lose exact point position, and I cant get in on exact grid coordinates again. because move tool has its values based on relative position, not an option for absolute world position.

I would really appreciate if someone could explain me how snapping system works, if I don't understand it correctly.  or fix conflict between overriding sketch constraints over snapping to grid.

Thank you in advance, this issue is very important to me

You can disable Fusion from projecting edges which will allow you to snap to the grid instead of the underlying body edges.

Click your name in the upper right corner & select preferences.  Under General -> Design, uncheck "Auto project edges on reference".
