No more Line SNAPPING! Quick Canva Tip

Introduction

When working in Canva, you may encounter the frustrating issue of line snapping. This occurs when you try to position a line precisely in a certain area, but it automatically snaps to a nearby point instead. Luckily, there's an easy workaround to give you the control you need to place your line exactly where you want it.

How to Move Your Line Without Snapping

1. Select the Line: First, click on the line you want to move.

2. Drag to Desired Position: Attempt to click and drag your line to the desired section. If it snaps back to a point that doesn’t suit your design, don’t worry!

3. Use Control (or Command) Key:

   • If you are using Windows, hold down the Control key on your keyboard.
   • If you are using a Mac, press the Command key.

4. Freely Move the Line: While holding down the Control or Command key, you will be able to drag the line freely without it snapping to those automatic points. This flexibility allows you to position the line exactly where you need it.

5. Fine-tune Your Position: You’ll notice that as you drag the line now, you can move it to precise positions that weren’t possible before. Once you release the Control or Command key, the line will stay in the place you've chosen.

By following these simple steps, you can enhance your design process and avoid the annoyance of unwanted line snapping.
