snap-to-grid

Arguments: development-configuration

Returns or sets with setf the value of the snap-to-grid property of development-configuration. The current development configuration is the value of (configuration *ide-system*) (see configuration and *ide-system*). This property determines whether dragging or resizing a component on a form will align it with the grid dots. If true, components (when moved with the mouse) will be aligned with the grid of dots on a form. If nil, components can be placed anywhere, whether aligned with the dots or not. The default value is nil because snapping to the grid makes it more difficult to align widgets with each other (see snap-to-components).

You can examine and change configuration options with the inspector. Choose Tools | Inspect System Data | IDE Configuration Options.
