Snap objects to grid different spaces between reports

Hi guys,

 

I'm having a weird problem. I made a report some time ago which had "snap to grip" enabled. In the report I aligned objects with "half" a space apart.

 

In this new report I'm creating, I have the same option ticked, but it forces me to align objects on "full" spaces apart. When I copy the visual from the full space report to the half space report, I can also align it half a space. So there must be something about the report, not just the visual.

 

Object aligned "half" a space on the left and top of the page (grey area)

 

Object aligned a "full" space on the right and bottom of the page (grey area)

 

Does anyone else experience this problem? How can I fix it so that I can also align half spaces on every new report I create? I'd rather not copy the other report and delete everything just to get the half space alignment working.

 

Thanks.

  • Are both your tables the same size? From what i can tell the "Space" varies depending on the size of the canvas.

      tex628 Thanks for your message. Both reports are using the same settings for size:
      Type: 16:9
      Width (greyed out): 1280 pixels
      Height (greyed out): 720 pixels

        Take your old report, make a new page and turn on gridlines. Compare the grid on your old report with the one on the new.
        Is the grid of a different size on the old report or does it actually snap to half a space accoring to the grid?
