Snap recognized shapes to grid
It would be great if you could snap the end points of lines and corners of polygons to grid points especially when using graph paper. This would only be on when shape recognition was enabled. The grid should be programmable, but should default to the drawn grid on the graph paper.

+1 for this. I'm genuinely surprised this is still not implemented 10 years later.

The one thing that I am missing after my transition from Xournal++ to iPad + Goodnotes is the feature to toggle “snap to grid” for grid page templates. I would really appreciate if this were to be implemented!!

I'd like to see this feature implemented in Goodnotes, as well as a ruler, so that accurate shapes e.g. triangles can be drawn.

Please include this. Since this is still only available on Notability, I tend to use the other app more often.

Yes! i need that …

This would be a great feature, with the ability to toggle on/off. I love GoodNotes’ drawing features, but when trying to draw several unconnected lines the same length, it’s impossible.

I also would like to vote for this feature:
- snap geometric shapes switchable grid/raster
- selectable grid size (master settings). (If not possible, 1mm grid should be OK)Great program!! Thanks

Snap to grid is annoying when you want the free form . Need a toggle switch on/off so it doesn’t interfere with creative moment

Absolutely love this feature, I’d also love an option (so people can switch it off if, like you, they don’t like it) to have the “hold pen for straight line/shapes” option you mentioned. It’s the only thing other than audio transcribing that keeps me using notability more than GoodNotes.

I would prefer it to be aligned to guides - that you can make appear by dragging your pen from the side, like any imaging tool (photoshop, illustrator, etc.)
This would have the better advantage of being useful even with your own template !

Yes, please!
This would be so helpful to get proportions right, if drawing on dotted or quad paper. -

While the current shape tool can be improved, I actually prefer this over Notability's for a few reasons. One being that it takes much longer to draw graphs in Notability since you have to hold every time a straight line is needed. In Goodnotes, graphs can be drawn faster since every approximate line is straightened.
But one feature I miss from Notability: lines snap to grid!! Another improvement would be refining the detection of straight lines- if I draw a line across 2 grids, it should, preferably, be automatically straightened to that length. Now it's either too short or too long.

When writing text boxes on ruled lines, when they are not snapped, they look super strange! Can this please be fixed so that the text boxes align properly with dotted/ruled lines?

This feature would be key to using GoodNotes more professionally, bc you can create cleaner and semi-standardized layouts, like a basis such as PowerPoint Master

This would considerably help me in the applications I use this for.

I have the same idea. I'd like use GoodNotes app to create AD&D maps and snappig the shapes to graph paper lines would be great.

Snapping to shapes would be good too
