Snapping to a grid vs. geometry [message #185697]

Hi,

My grid works fine and I want my elements to snap to it. But I'm
confused. What is the difference between snapping to a grid vs. snapping
to geometry? Should I create the ToggleSnapToGeometryAction?

The SnapFeedbackPolicy description says that it's suitable for geometry
and guides, but it's not required for grids. Are there any policies,
commands, or actions that I should use instead?

Finally, is there a way to change the grid spacing? How about a way to
set it as dots instead of full lines?

Thanks!

Matt
