- your library is not properly configured (eg. wrong path to shadow.csl). Press F11, if configuration is OK you should see connectivity indicators on all studs, tubes, holes...
- You are in grid setting mode, not snapping mode (click on GS in the compass thingy). Snapping mode shows a green PS instead of red GS. Note that GS is (currently) default mode for a new installation)
Like philo wrote snapping is disabled by default as I like to encourage new users to learn the grid method first because of the way snapping is implemented in LDCad (needs help from the grid for some parts).
The only other thing I can think of is the shadow library is somehow not deployed (file writing restrictions) so it can't be loaded. The F11 test should indicate that.
Fixed! F11 did not show anything, for some reason the section <LDrawPaths> in main.cfg did not include the shadow library path, I think from a previous installation with insufficient permissions.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
