Quantize to frames
 
I know how to switch on quantize to frames, options>quantize to frames, but how do i know if it's on or off ?
There's no icon or indication that it's on or off.
Also is it possible to have a button for this feature /

Thanks,Paul.

For others wondering about indications whether quantize is on or off, in fact the menu item has an icon next to it. When there is a very subtle square framing the icon, quantize-to-frames is on (as it should always be when editing video).

No frame - quantize is off (as is sometimes advantageous when synching an audio track, and is alway handy when editing audio-only projects).

For such a profound effect that quantize has on vegas editing, the indication is far too subtle... and is something that editors should keep foremost in their awareness...

I had a similar problem; I didn't notice the change in the menu icon (a tick box would have been better). What I used to do to confirm Quantize to frames was enabled was to zoom the timeline, then use the arrow keys to advance or retard one frame at a time. If Quantize was on, the current time marker would fall accurately on a frames boundary, if it was off it stopped at an arbitrary location. Glad I saw this tip, thanks.

What i did was
options>customize toolbar, then added the quatize frames to the toolbar, then it becomes indented when i press it.
