i create more or less complex objects and sometimes i work without a grid, give some free positions and something like that. now i want to set the object position back to a specific grid point. example… a ball object should have the exact center position of the grid.

what is the best way for this?

greetings

Hi,

For this usecase, the Translate tool is your best choice. In some other cases, Align tool could work better.
