How do I turn off snap to grid in PCB Designer

Quick Question, I can not figure out how to turn off snap to grid when placing components manually in PCB Designer. I am trying to align ann external connection component to the PCB edge but it either sticks out too far or is too far back on PCB. 

THANK YOU
