Snap to Grid Units Preference
Hello, I am looking for a little help...somehow I switched my 'Snap to Grid' units to Seconds from Beats. I can't find any way to change it back in Prefs. Using DP 9.1.
Re: Snap to Grid Units Preference
Open a Sidebar and in the menu at the top, add a Snap Information window. Is that what you're looking for? In the Mini Menu for this window you should be able to configure the Info Bars in the Edit windows (e.g. Sequence, Tracks) so you can control things from there.

Re: Snap to Grid Units Preference
Thanks for your help...I do have that window open, but there's no way that I can see to change the unit type, I did try the mini menu and Info Bar prefs. So far, I can't find a way to set the unit anywhere; AFAIK, the same settings functions are identical in the far right corner of the Sequence window.

Perhaps you want Setup>Time Formats?

You don't get this? (To get different resolutions for snap to grid, I think you just change the gird by zooming)Will Shanks wrote:Thanks for your help...I do have that window open, but there's no way that I can see to change the unit type, I did try the mini menu and Info Bar prefs.

Re: Snap to Grid Units Preference
That's it! Thanks very much. I must have inadvertently changed it with an inadvertent key command combo.cuttime wrote:Perhaps you want Setup>Time Formats?
