vectorworks users--help

As far as I know, no. Granted I haven't used 2011. You could draw a box aroudn the page boundry and then change the color so it can't be seen and you'd have something to snap to there.
 
That's sort of what I ended up doing, creating line objects around the boundaries and then sticking them on a layer I wasn't drawing to so that they wouldn't get "grabbed" and moved around while navigating.

Thanks for the help,
 
It's not good practice to put anything relating to pages or page borders on design layers - stick to Sheet Layers and Viewports - that's what they're designed for. This tutorial is for an old version, but much of the content is the same.

Tutorial: How to create a set of viewports with VectorWorks 11

You can add items to the Annotation layer of the viewport for things that you don't want in the Design layer (i.e. dimensions and notes), and you can use the Crop layer to edit the view.

Best of luck,
Matt
 
Thank you, Matt.

That was my understanding as well, hence me not understanding why one would want to snap to Design Layer page boundaries in the first place...
