How to snap different layers to the edges of other layers? (Virtuoso Layout XL)

94d33m

So I used to work with Tanner L-edit and it had this beautiful mouse snapping, where the mouse would snap at the edges/center/corners of another layer/instance so I could easily draw layers and end where I wanted.

But in layout XL, If I have a Metal 1 and I draw another M1 it will auto snap and complete the connection, but if I draw Metal 2 on top of the M1 it does not snap anywhere, and I have to zoom in close to see whether it is going to align with the edge of the metal 1 or not ( see pic above)

Is there any easier way to do rather than zooming and seeing whether my metal has aligned to the edge or not?

EDIT: For this I found that enabling gravity options kind of works, when we use stretch option for a metal, but not when drawing a path.
