using Illustrator CS:

Say I have a grid, and snapping is on. I draw a square and rotate it
45 degrees. I would like to drag the square around by a node, and have
the node snap to the intersections of the grid. As it stands the square
is snapping when I move it, however, I can't decern what its snapping
to. Smart guides are off.

This is one of those things I've never been able to figure out because
its easy to work around.

Anyone?

Derek.

p.s. When I

yah, same here... try to explain ur issue in a bit long way, so that
others can understand, anyway google wont charge for extra lines... ;)

Anyway, as i figured it out...

node = anchor points ?

use Transform palette. U can click on the box of anchor points to
select from which anchor point it should rotate, and rotate it by the
same palette's roatation option.

-OR-

U can do the same by using (Ctrl + Alt+ D) u can rotate this. Hope u
got the answer, if not pls try to explain ur question bit more... then
someone wil help u
