Modifiers affect the way drawing, moving and editing actions behave. When an action is modified it is carried out in relation to something else.
The Snap to Grid modifier ensures that all drawing, editing and moving actions are performed relative to the grid. When this button is checked all your actions will snap to the grid points, and at set points between them, depending on how you have set the grid up.
With this button checked you will see that drawing actions and objects being moved jump from snappoint to snappoint to indicate what their exact position will be when you release the mouse button.
Snapping to the grid is very useful when you want to create a drawing with accurately located objects.
