Default Aligning objects with snapgrid OFF

This should be real easy, so I guess I'm missing the obvious...
(1) Turn snap grid OFF
(2) Draw 2 rectangles near each other.

(Now the bit I can't do)

(3) How do I align the right hand edge of one rectangle with the left edge of the other? ie, make the 2 rectangles sit PRECISELY next to each other with no gap between?

The obvious answer is snap-to-grid, but that only works if the rectangles were created with gridsnap ON.

It's GOT to be simple, but eludes me...

Yeah, it's pretty easy.

1. Make sure you've enabled Vertice selection. Select the 2 vertices(one from each rectangle) you want to be in the same place
2. Resize the selection so that are on the same spot
3. Menu->Object->Optimize vertices (1 should be removed)
4. Repeat from step 1 for the other 2 vertices

Depending on layout of your rectangles you could do step 1 with 4 vertices (2 pairs) in one go.

I'd do it different.

1. Vertice mode
2. Select on vertice of each object
3. Menu "Vertice" : Snap Objects by vertice

The object, who's vertice is selected first, will be move to the secondly selected.
