Resize frame and move frame problem - snaps to corner

Ellen
Participant

Hi!

 

I'm having a new (previously not encountered) problem with view resizing and reposition on my sheets. When I click move or re-frame any of the views on my sheet, archicad autosnaps to something, seemingly the corner of my sheet. I set up about 10 sheets yesterday, re-sizing and moving things around within the frames and didn't run into this problem. 

 

It's not isolated to this file either, I have another instance of Archicad open, and it now doing it that file as well. 

 

The screenshots attached show what happens when I click to move or resize the frame, you can see the spot it want to attach everything to. 

 

I have restarted archicad, both instances of the program, and restarted my computer. I've done a quick internet search but I'm not sure I'm accurately describing the problem to get the right how-to-fix. 

 

Your help is greatly appreciated! I'm fairly stuck at the moment!

 

Thanks,

 

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon 7004 Full

It could maybe be a grid snap issue? You may accidentally enabled it? (Alt-S is the default shortcut)

Amazing, thank you this worked! I would have never figured this out or figured out what to search for to fix it.
