  2. Choose a Draft tool to draw a shape.
  3. Move the cursor approximately in the direction of a line that makes an angle of 45° with the horizontal.
  4. The snap symbol will appear when the tentative line makes an angle of 45°, or a multiple of it.
  5. Click to attach your new point.

Note: the snapping only works on the current working plane.
