Preferences - Grid - Snap to Grid
Rectangular Uniform
Major Grid Spacing 0.125
Minor Lines 1
Snap points per Minor 1

Am I doing something wrong? This feature seems to only work properly on horizontal dimensions. The snap itself still works on vertical dimensions but doesn't comply to the spacing I have set. I have tried 0.0625, .25, and .5 but it seems to be locked at 1" spacing. [pc]

The dimension text likes to snap to the center position (centered between the extension lines). If you hold down the [kbd]Alt[/kbd] key while placing the dimension it will eliminate the "snap to center" behavior.

Also make note of the text "anchor" option when creating/placing a dimension as this will affect how the dimension snaps to the grid.
