Through support emails I was advised to post technical support question to this user forum. In my previous emails I was informed that there are no "written help files", thus there is no index either. Although I am experienced in ACAD and Corel Designer, I am just starting out with SD and when I try to extrapolate from my experience to SD, I find that there is usually no correspondence. One case in point would be that after having been advised that my "cables" were not "rubber banding" becuase they were not drawn all the way up to the blue highlight that confirms the connection point being made, I then proceeded with my drawing and immediately found further issues that I needed to reference but had no way of consulting an index to address the issues. For example:

1. Grid & Snap:

   a.   How do I lock the drawing to the grid, so that my symbol stubs or better yet my connection points are always aligned with the grid.

   b.   I find that my cables will tend to go out of orthogonal angle when I snap them into place, I suppose that this is most probably due to the alignment of the grid and that they are snapping to the "Blue Connection Point", which I have not been able to sync with the grid, but if I were able to achieve re-aligning my symbols to the grid, I assumed that selecting "Orthogonal Lock" would permit me to freely click the "Cables" in place with out any skew, but upon selecting it, the "Cable Tool" grayed out.

   c.   In my efforts I tried to "select all" and snap to grid, but this did not align the connection points with the grid. What would then be the correct way of aligning the "Symbols" with the grid?

   d.   At one point I was able to connect the "Cables" without any orthogonal error, but contrary to "Cables" that I had previously drawn, these would not "rubber band" "normally". When I would move the symbol to test their "rubber band" connection, one of the attached segments would just extend and pivot to a slant line, instead of maintaining its orthogonal relation as would the previous lines that I had drawn.

   Despite these issues, I am very enthusiastic about SD7 and hope to become proficient, but I must insist that there should be some written and index reference material, and even if it were just movies and/or the forum, there should be some reference to specific topics, instructions and procedures that would avoid one from going "fishing" for an answer.
