Snap to keypoints

Use Snap to keypoints to detect only keypoints in your model when entering points. Non-keypoints are ignored. On wireframe items, the cursor snaps to the nearest keypoint.

When this option is selected, the cursor changes to as a reminder that point entry is restricted to keypoints.

To activate Snap to keypoints:

  1. On the status bar, right-click to display the Intelligent Cursor flyout.
  2. Click Snap to keypoints.

When you model with solids, snapping points are automatically calculated for the following geometric points:

  • Corners
  • Centres of planar faces
  • Centres of arc edges
  • Mid-points of straight line edges
  • Tangent to arc edges

The snapping points become visible when you enter solid creation mode.
