Snapping Objects

You can activate the snap features and then create, edit, and move shapes to precise locations. As you move objects the selected Snap To options will automatically align the physical feature of the object according the snaps selected. When an object is snapping to a reference point, the cursor will change to a small square will appear indicating the snapping.
