The snap grid is a tool to simplify the handling and the movement of any object in the CAD views. The objects will step in the distance that’s defined in the snap grid settings. The grid distances can be equal in all three directions but can also be different for X, Y and Z.

If you want to move an object for a short period without a grid, just hold down the SHIFT key while you place the object. This is valid for all grids and help lines.
To make the snap grid a visible tool as well, use the same settings for the display grid as you do it for the snap grid. The colour can also be changed to have a better contrast for example against a background DWG file.
