Snapping means "gluing" your next 3d point onto an existing point. Snapping is available with most Draft and Arch tools, and can be enabled and disabled globally with the File:Snap Lock.png Draft ToggleSnap command. Each snap location below can also be enabled or disabled individually by clicking the corresponding button on the snap toolbar.

Available snap locations

Options

  • File:Snap Lock.png Lock: turns snapping on/off globally
  • Certain additional snap locations can be obtained by combining 2 snap locations, such as ortho + extension, that will give you a snap point at the intersection of their imaginary lines.
  • Other, more complex snap locations can also be obtained by using constraining (by pressing SHIFT or X or Y or Z while drawing).
  • Pressing L while drawing locks the current angle of the line segment being drawn.
  • The maximum distance at which a point is snapped a snap location is specified in the preferences, and can also be changed on-the-fly by pressing [ or ] keys.
