Modeling Snapping

Overview

Use the snapping icons in the toolbox (one the left side of the viewer pane) to turn snapping on and off.

Right-click, or press and hold, an icon to see a menu of options.

Snap to grid	Snap to points on the construction plane.
Snap to primitives	Snap to curves and edges.
Snap to points	Snaps to points.
Multi-snap	Snap to different things simultaneously. Open the icon’s menu and choose Multi-snapping options to set priorities for individual types of snapping.

Options menu

Templates	At the Geometry level, you can snap to templated geometry (geometry that is made visible for reference purposes, using the template flag).
Other objects	At the Geometry level, you can snap to geometry from other objects, not just the object you are inside.
Depth snapping	If you turn this option off, you can snap to reference geometry, but the point stays on the construction plane.
Orient on snap	When you snap one object to another, normally the orientation of the object will remain the same and only its location will change. If this option is turned on, the object will rotate so the closest major axis (x, y, z) points in the direction of the thing you are snapping to.
Options	Open the snapping options window containing additional options. For multi-snapping, this window lets you give each type of snapping different priorities so, for example, snapping to points overrides snapping to edges.
