All I want to do is make a diagonal line across a rectangle box.

The line seems to want to snap to the connectors on the box - ok, so I hold down alt, and it snaps to a grid which isn't right.

How to move the endpoints to single pixel precision?

Question is - IS there a way to position or resize stuff to single pixel precision?

Hm. Sorted it by using two right angle triangles, because I needed to fill the halves differently. Turns out that whilst lines won't snap to the rectangles properly, triangles will.

Still couldn't make it do single pixel precision though.

Is the snap to grid option not removable now?
It used to be a check box years ago when using draw or whatever it's called in word.
Uncheck and you can start/end lines where ever you like.

Yeah you uncheck it, but it still snaps. No idea what that's about.
