Help starting with Draw

Trying to get to grips with Draw. Using 7.3.7.2
According to the Draw Guide 7.5, holding down the cntrl key while drawing a line, the end snaps to the nearest grid point. When I hold down the cntrl key, no snap happens. I have tried with ‘snap to grid’ option selected and also without.
What am I doing wrong?

Switch on catch on the grid.

Thanks for the suggestion. Still no ‘cure’ but helpful topics all the same.
Apologies for posting my answer incorrectly.

To become familiar with snapping, you should set (temporarily) the Snap range to a larger value. Then you can see, when snapping happens. The default 5 pixels setting is too small to see snapping. A value of e.g. 25 pixels makes snapping visible.
The setting is in Tools > Options > LibreOffice Draw > Grid.

Thanks for that idea. Something else to try!

I think you are using a Connector, not a Line. See this answer, Impress doesn't respect snap settings? - #2 by EarnestAl
