Description Richard Gronback CLA 2007-05-24 12:40:12 EDT 
The blue "laser lines" used with GEF's snap to geometry feature seems to be absent in the GMF runtime.  Or, is there some trick to enabling it?
Comment 1 Anthony Hunter CLA 2007-05-24 13:58:05 EDT 
Did you add a guide first to the ruler? These "laser lines" appear when you turn on guides.
Comment 2 Anthony Hunter CLA 2007-05-24 17:02:46 EDT 
I am mistaken.

The GMF Runtime supports the red "laser lines" that appear when you turn on a guide.

The blue "laser lines" used to align independent of the guides are not supported by the runtime.

Not sure why but we should fix.

Proposed Patch

The patch attached enables snap to geometry for gmf, mainly including fixes that compensate for hi-metric, compartments, and group edit parts.  the behavior is to be identical to gef, with the exception that edit parts snapping also works inside compartments.

one of the main things to notice is that the edit parts you can snap to are limited to the level of hierarchy. for example, edit parts can only snap to other edit parts inside the same compartment.
