Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Description

Snap mode restricts the movement of the crosshairs to intervals that you define. When Snap mode is on, the cursor seems to adhere, or "snap," to an invisible rectangular grid. Snap is useful for specifying precise points with the arrow keys or the pointing device.

 

Remarks

User can modify the x,y snap spacing.

You can also set the base point of the snap.This point defines the bottom left point of the snap.

If you need to draw along a specific alignment or angle, you can change the snap angle. This rotation realigns the crosshairs on the screen to match the new angle.
