If Snap to is enabled, you can specify the conditions when snapping will be activated:
Ruler Subdivisions - the shape will snap to the imaginary lines coming
out of the rulers' subdivisions. Use this for very precise positioning.
Grid - the shape will snap to the grid nodes.
Guides - the shape will snap to the guide lines.
Geometry - the shape will snap to the outlines of other shape. It is
usually helpful when you need to attach a shape to another shape.
Handles - the shape will snap to resize handles of other shapes.
Vertices - the shape will snap to vertices of other shapes.
Connections Points - the shape will snap to connection points of other
shapes.
Glue to Guides - allows shapes to glue to guide lines.
