Snap to canvas centre vertically and horisontally

[Ingolf]

When I select snap to artboard I would also like the option to snap to the centre of the artboard, vertically and horisontally. Much faster to work with when you place objects than using the alignment panel etc.

@Ingolf Here it snaps to the center of the artboard: https://recordit.co/3vCJGj8es1

Using what settings? I just discovered the panel menu with... many more settings... whoa.

I don't remember seeing yellow lines at all.

Quick access to some snapping options in View -> Guides -> menu

No centre of page snapping with those settings here - macOS and Win 10.

Hmm, I think it actually does snap to the centres, but I see no indicator line allthough enabled. Win 10.

Checking on macOS later.

[Ingolf]

Same observation on macOS - it does snap to the centre(s) but no yellow line displayed.

@Ingolf If 'Show Indicators' is enabled and indicators still don't show, check in Preferences > User Interface if the indicator is set to a non-white color and its opacity and outline width are like this:

[Ingolf]

Hm on both Windows and macOS almost all snapping indicators had an opacity of 0,0% - even when every snapping setting was enabled.

[Ingolf]

But with your settings I still don't see the indicator lines. What outline color should I look for in preferences, @vectoradmin

@Ingolf and @vectoradmin
It is the same here by default (opacity is at 0.0%), but the snap indicators still work…

They also worked here - but no canvas centre lines to see after setting to 100%

[Ingolf]

I also only see an indicator line when it snaps to the horisontal border of the canvas, not the vertical.

@Ingolf The "Common Snapping Indicator" color should be the one.

And the opacity should be 100% by default.

I open a bug on this one, and will try to replicate the issue.

For information, I also do not have guidelines appearing when snapping to either the vertical or horizontal (or both) centers of the Artboard. I have verified the settings discussed in this post; e.g. Allow Snapping, Snap to Artboards, Show Indicators. As others have noted, the opacity of Indicators, in Preferences, was 0%, but setting it to 100% does not cause Indicators to appear.

I tried changing the Indicator Outline to layer (no indicator appeared) and back to Color again; changing the color; and changing the line thickness. None of those actions caused indicators to appear.
