By creating a ruler with Grease Pencil and editing it, each extreme points can't be snapped to a selected vertex. it does to other vertices.

Also, "Selection to Cursor" to move ruler's point doesn' work. This command moves the selected object vertex (if any is selected).

Try both in the file.

This looks like you're wanting the ruler to be able to snap to grease-pencil vertices?

If so, this ability hasn't been added yet and is more of a TODO - (ruler was added before editable grease-pencil).

No, I want the ruler to snap to object vertices... that it is possible. But it isn't to a selected vertex. As it is in the file.

I could see that the ruler does not snap to any new elements created in edit mode.
We need to exit edit mode and get into that mode again in order to snap to the new elements.

Eh, resolved the report from @mano-wii, but seems its different to the original.

@MarioSottile, snapping to the selected vert works here

Can you confirm this is what your trying to do? If not, can you give more details?

Not exactly. The steps I did was:

I created a ruler
Pressed Enter
Do other stuff.
Enter in "Edit Strokes" / "Enable Editing".
Try to snap one ruler vertex: IT DOESN'T DO THAT. Check the screencast.

Today was the first time I used the Ruler so I didn't/don't how exactly it works. Now, by looking at your screenshot, I checked again and I can move the ruler when clicking "Rulers/Protractor" and there yes, the rulers do snap to all vertices.

The bug is not about the Ruler, but about editing the grease pencil strokes. The title has to change to "Grease pencil vertices don't snap to an object selected vertex and "Selection to Cursor" doesn't work with them"

Actually, there are two bugs in my report. Three with the one from @mano-wii.

Fixed grease-pencil-snapping in 881047de88

In future please don't mix multiple bug reports into one, just do multiple reports to avoid confusion.

@ideasman42, thanks for the fix.

So, should I report the bug where the "Selection to Cursor" doesn't work with Grease Pencil or it is fixed, too?

@MarioSottile, thats a TODO, at least its not some accident that its not working. Its just support was never written for it. There are quite a lot of tools (I expect) which havn't been updated to support grease-pencil selection.

Off hand...

Manipulator
Delkey to view selection
Snapping to other grease pencil points

So think we could gather TODO items, since these are tasks to be completed. Not bugs.
