The Snap To Grid command can be accessed through the Snap Settings command of the Edit menu. This option causes the icons to snap to the 1’ grid (.3m if you are working in metric units). Icons do not snap based on corners of the icon, but rather the insertion point (usually the center of the icon). To see the grid, use the Display Grid command.
