Snap to Grid - change grid size?

Is there a way to make the grid size smaller?  I like the snap to grid feature but would like to make the grids with smaller options so some of the visuals will be closer together. 

 

I'm building a report with several drop downs and I would like for them to be stacked a little closer together without me having to tediously move and size them with the X ,Y, Height, Width under the General section for each visual.

Unfortunately, this still isn't possible. There are workarounds (e.g., creating grid shapes that you use to align), but it is a pain to maintain or change. It would be REALLY helpful if the PBI team would add this as it would go a long way in making it easier to maintain/standardize report designs at scale for numerous reports in an org.

Zoom In. The snapping will let you get your elements closer together. Just had the same issue where I zoomed out and couldn't figure out why the snapping distance was all larger all of a sudden and nothing lined up.

You could increase the resolution of the report. This is by default 16:9 (1080x720). You can use Custom size and increase to for instance 1920x1080.
