- Automatic definition of a tangency to an arc or circle – .
In the creation/editing process, the system automatically finds the allowed
snaps and offers them to the user (by flashing a snap type next to the
cursor). Besides that, the system monitors for a coincidence of two object
snaps, for example, vertical – horizontal, perpendicular – horizontal, etc.
If several object snap choices are found at a given point, the system lets the user select the desired snap (or a
combination of two snaps). To do this, you need to place the cursor at the desired location and rest it for a
while. Then the cursor changes its appearance: the mark appears next to it together with a tooltip
showing the total number of object snaps found by the system. Use the mouse wheel to scroll through those
snaps. Clicking determines the snap that will be used in the creation or editing of the current 2D element.
