2D Vector Snapping Modes

The snapping modes available allow you to click to precise geometrical points on a drawing. For example, if you select Snap to End-Point and you move the cursor over an end-point of a line, the end-point will be highlighted by a snap box.

The snapping modes allow you to snap to the mid, center, and end-points of an entity:

Button	Snap to	Description
	End-point	Geometric snap mode where a snap box appears when moving the cursor near a linear component’s end point.
	Mid-point	Geometric snap mode where a snap box appears when moving the cursor near the halfway point of a linear component.
	Center-point	Geometric snap mode where a snap box appears when moving the cursor near the center of an elliptical component.
	Free snap	Allow snapping at any point on the drawing.

The below table lists snapping locations for certain measurements:

Measurement	Snapping Location
Area	Snaps to a shape on the drawing.
Arc	Snaps to an arc on the drawing.
Angle	Snap to an angle on the drawing.
