T-FLEX Parametric CAD. Fundamentals. 2D Design

Main Concepts of System Operation
when several snap choices are found). A detailed description of setting up snaps in the command “SO: Set
System Options” is given in the chapter “System setup”.
Most of the object snaps can also be managed using the specialized “Snaps” toolbar. By default this toolbar
is “hidden” inside the toolbar “View”. To get an access to this toolbar, press the button .
For displaying this toolbar in an “independent” mode, move the cursor to the title area of the toolbar, press
and, without releasing the mouse, drag the toolbar into the desired location. In the future this toolbar can
be left in the floating mode or snapped at any place of the T-FLEX CAD window.
Using this toolbar, one can set and unset the snapping modes by clicking the desired icons with . All
snappings can be simultaneously turned on or off by the button - “Clear all sketch Snaps”. Also, all
snapping modes except the required one can unset by clicking appropriate icon with button pressed.
Listed next are the main types of object snaps used in T-FLEX CAD:
- Snapping to a point on a graphic line or construction line – , ;
- Snapping to graphic line intersection – ;
- Snapping to construction line intersection − ;
- Snapping to the coordinate system origin ((0,0) point) – ;
- Snapping to the midpoint of the graphic line – ;
- Snapping to graphic line end points – ;
- Snapping to the center of an arc or circle – ;
