Thanks so much brundlefly! Toggling global snap off and on with 'N' does the trick, and is an acceptable work around for me. Oddly enough, I didn't have to do this in X2 Studio. Maybe this was an issue in X2 Producer? I've noticed that the upgrade to X3 Studio has some "hand-me-downs" from Producer, e.g. the ProChannel. Perhaps this bug is a "hand-me-down" as well.
 
Still, I would prefer not to have to hit 'N' twice each time I change the snap setting in the PRV. I hope Cakewalk fixes it.

Ahhh...I see what you are saying Mike.

1. Snap works fine in PRV -- to whatever I set it to in the PRV snap.
2. That's not the issue.
3. The issue is that the grid lines won't show according to the snap settings.

Thanks.

Within the PRV go to View and select "Show Vertical Gridlines"

Below that, select "Grid Resolution" and set it to whichever resolution you need.
 
The Grid Lines and the Snap Settings do not affect one another, they are separate entities.

I beg to differ! With "Follow Snap Settings" selected for Grid Resolution, changing the snap setting in PRV is supposed to change the Grid Resolution. That's how it works in X2 Studio, and it's a feature that I rely heavily on. Read the previous two posts: toggling global snap off and on with 'N' is a work around. It's a short-cut method for performing the same steps I've outlined in "Now, to reproduce some quirky behavior".
 
Thanks.

I apologize for my mis-direction on this.

You're welcome. Interesting that it was not a problem in previous versions of Studio. It's been an issue in Producer all along.
 
I suggest you file a quick Problem Report:

The Bakers prioritize issues partly on the basis or of report frequency, and they don't generally follow the forums closely enough to know how many user are bothered by a particular issue otherwise.
