How to snap to grid with automation?

Apparently I'm retarded and can't seem to figure out how to get snap-to-grid to work with automation. It would be extremely baffling if this weren't a feature. Help?

"options" "snap to grid" does it for me just fine.

that doesn't seem to do anything for me, in regards to automation. is there another setting somewhere i have to enable?



**edit**

after a little more searching through the forums i found my answer. when in "draw mode", snap to grid works fine. i just click on the automation lines and move breakpoints to where i need to instead of using draw mode for anything. guess i gotta get used to this.

ah, yeah. i guess i never do it outside of draw mode.

but overall if you can learn to actually record the automation using a usb controller mapped to a parameter live rather than drawing it your life will be a lot better with ableton.

there are many times when snapping to grid is essential. it really sucks that Live does not have this yet.
