Max 2009 - Snaps Issue

Iconic

I recently downgraded from max 2013 and the snaps behave very strangely. I couldn't find exactly what the issue is. The edge or vertex seems to snap the same distance from the grid, rather than on the specified grid point. If that makes sense.

Any ideas of what the issue could be?

have you iterated through the snap settings? Check if any other snap options are enabled such as grid, edge, face,...

Max 2012 changed something in the way snaps work, particularly in using a single axis when snapping. (Possibly my favorite thing about 2012) Back when I was using max 2009 I turned off "Use Axis Constraints" in the snaps options most of the time. For some reason with it on max would ONLY snap a single axis at a time.

I have looked closely at all of the options within the snap settings and I can't find any dealing with this sort of thing.
