Object snaps (Drawing workspace)
Specify precise points on objects.
Object snaps allow you to specify precise points on objects whenever you are prompted for a point during commands like Dimension, Section View, Move, etc.
Object snaps can be accessed via the marking (right-click) menu.
These object snaps are:
| Object Snaps | Description |
|---|---|
| Endpoint | Specifies the end point of an edge. |
| Midpoint | Specifies the midpoint of an edge. |
| Intersection | Specifies the intersection of 2 edges. |
| Center | Specifies the center point of a circular or an arc edge. |
| Quadrant | Specifies the quadrant of a circular or an arc edge. |
| Tangent | Specifies the tangent point on a circular or an arc edge. |
| Point | Specifies a point within sketch (reference) geometry. |
| Curve X/Y Min/Max | Specifies the furthest (horizontal or vertical) point of a curved edge. |
Note: To locate precise points, use object snap tracking. Hover over an object snap location and track out along a line.
Tip
When you place dimensions, use the Curve X/Y Min/Max snap to dimension to the furthest point of a curved edge.
