Snaps

Snap modes allow you to move to exact points in the drawing and assist with drawing accurately.

To activate a snap mode:

Select the draw function and then select Tools ► Snaps, or click the required icon in the Snaps toolbar. Alternatively, press and hold [Shift] while you press the letter key assigned to the snap. The snap activates and the cursor changes to indicate the selected snap. The keys and icons are shown in the tables below along with an explanation on what each snap will snap to.
