Hey Guys,
 
I can't seem to get my Automation Nodes to automatically snap to grid as I insert them. It's never been a problem before. Only in Platinum. It's always just worked in all of my older versions of Sonar.
 
I've tried everything I can think of. Maybe, I'm missing something. How should I have Platinum configured to make this work again?
 
Thanks!

in preferences, snap to grid, is the automation nodes check box ticked, should be by default

Got it! Thanks!
Now, I can drag and it ill snap to grid. But, it still won't create a node in the proper position. But, this will work.

do you have the global snap settings set to snap to grid, when ever you zoom it will change the note length accordingly, your notes might not be hitting the mark, cuz of the global note length

Yes, I've done that, too (I think). Here is a screen capture of how I'e got it set up.

next to the smart tool bar, right click on the global snap (note length) at the top of the list snap to grid will be ticked un tick it and when ever you zoom in or out the note length you set will not change as yuo zoom in or out

Still cant get it to work right. I create a node, then drag it until it "snap" into place. But, I still can't get it to create a node at the exact place I want it to be like I could with older versions of Sonar. 
 
Example: I wan't to create a node at 4:00:00. I take the pointer and click to create one there but because I'm off, it will crate the node off (3:04:946) then I have to drag in to 4:00:000 where it locks into place.
