Allows for the crosshair to move freely while other snap modes are enabled. Commands: os, sf | |
Snap to a grid intersection. Command: sg | |
Snap to the endpoints of a line segment, the quadrants of a circle, a point, or the alignment point of a text or mtext object. Command: se | |
Snap to the path of an entity. Commands: np, sn | |
Snap to the center of a circle or ellipse. It will also snap to the foci of an ellipse. Command: sc | |
Snap to the middle of a path. Enabling this mode displays a "Middle points" input. If you change the value to 2 then you can snap to the trisection points of a line segment. Command: sm | |
If you snap to the endpoint of a line segment then activate 'snap distance' and input 50, then it will snap to a point 50 units from the endpoint on the line segment. However, it will also snap to a point that is 50 units from the other endpoint. Command: sd | |
Snap to the intersection of two entities. This does not currently work for polylines. Command: si | |
On: only one snap mode is allowed Off: multiple snap modes are allowed The snap modes are remembered in each state. |
