Description Tom Macdougall CLA 2006-06-21 15:09:23 EDT 
Here are the steps to reproduce the issue:

- Create a GEF logic diagram example
- Set the View menu item Grid to selected and the Snap to Geometry to unselected
- Use the LED palette tool and drop an LED on the logic diagram
- Drag the LED across the diagram

Note the drag will always attach to the grid

patch for DragEditPartsTracker.txt

Added check in DragEditPartsTracker for the snap to geometry property. I am not sure what I can assume about the getCurrentViewer call. Please let me know if further checks should be added.
Comment 2 Randy Hudson CLA 2006-06-21 15:29:51 EDT 
Tools need to rely on the target editpart to determine how to snap. The viewer property is an implementation detail for how the target determines the snapto method.

This is working as designed for me.
