The align to grid item of the Arrange menu provides two options for aligning objects to the grid which is specified in the Drawing Preferences dialog. Align to grid is similar to snap to grid and can be used to align one or more objects to the grid if they were added or had their positions adjusted with snap to grid set to None. The options are Absolute and Relative. If Absolute is selected, objects are positioned at the nearest horizontal and vertical grid point relative to the grid in the presentation area. If Relative is selected, objects are positioned at the nearest horizontal and vertical grid point relative to their owning object.
