v 1.7 beta 2a snapping feature - Nicolas19 - 2026-03-03
Hello,
With version v1.7 beta 2a, I no longer have the automatic part snapping feature.
Is there a specific configuration for this new version ?
Thank you

You may just need to reconfigure the shadow library in search path settings.
Simplest fix might just be to copy main.cfg from your previous installation into the new one.

You are the second person to report this. At first I was also thinking configuration but some additional tests pointed to a bug
It seems I've broken the shadow handling combined with an unpacked library. I didn't notice this myself as I always use the complete.zip as-is.
So a workaround is to also use complete.zip as-is until I can fix the bug and prepare a Beta 2b version.

Thank you for your help.
With the rar file all works fine.

It should be fixed in the new 2b version:
