As a sequel to the previous chapter, here we will look at more advanced transformation topics. Inkscape allows you to not only freely transform objects but to do it quickly, precisely, and, to some extent, automatically.
Snapping refers to making some points, lines, or paths work as magnets, so that when you are transforming something in the vicinity of such a magnetic attractor, the object you’re transforming “snaps” into the exact desired position. Arranging moves a large number of objects in a regular way so that they are aligned, distributed, scattered, or lined up into a table exactly as you want them to be.
