Snaps allow specific geometric features to be selected while using drawing and editing tools. Most drawing tools will automatically move the cursor to drawing elements that meet the active snap criteria.
| Snap | Icon | Description | Cursor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snap to Grid |  |
Snaps to the nearest grid point, as defined in Setup > Preferences > Grid |  |
| Snap to Guideline |  |
Snap cursor to guideline. Contour boundaries will also snap to guidelines when dragged |  |
| Snap to Intersection |  |
Snap to the intersection of two line segments |  |
| Snap to Endpoint |  |
Snap to the endpoints of arc, curve, and line segments |  |
| Snap to Contour |  |
Snap to the nearest point along a contour |  |
| Snap to Arc Center |  |
Snap to the center of an arc segment when the cursor is placed near the arc |  |
| Snap to Midpoint |  |
Snap to the midpoint of a segment |  |
| Snap to Perpendicular Point |  |
When constructing line segments, after defining the first point in the segment, the second endpoint will snap to a point on a contour so that the line segment will be perpendicular to the contour. |  |
| Snap to Tangent Point |  |
When constructing line segments, the second endpoint will snap to a point on an arc so that the new line segment will be tangent to the arc |  |
| Snap to Tangents Between Two Circles |  |
When in a construction tool, the snap identifies the tangent point to the nearest arc segment as well as corresponding tangent point on an adjacent arc segment |  |
| Snap to Show Intersecting Contours |  |
Toggles the display of intersecting or overlapping contour segments. This Snap is most useful in identifying potential toolpath creation issues before generating toolpaths. |  |
