KeyCreator Drafting / General Interface / Selection / Position Snap Toolbar The Position Snap senses cursor proximity to a maskable position and "locks on" to it. Position Snap can also be described as a running object snap. There are three indicators that communicate the snap condition. A marker is placed at the position, the entity becomes highlighted and a small descriptor appears to the side of the cursor. The selection crosshair will lock on to common placement locations on the existing geometry. An abbreviation of the mode will appear, indicating that you are over one of the snap points. For example, MID will appear when the cursor is snapping to the midpoint. Position Snap supports point (PNT), endent (END), center (CTR), midpoint (MID), quadrant (QUAD), 3D intersection (X3D), 2D projected intersection (X2D), and tangent (TAN) modes. Nearest (NEAR) is also recognized, but it requires a keyboard action. See Keyboard Shortcuts below for details on how to initiate the NEAR option. NOTE: A 3D intersection is faster and more accurate than a 2D intersection. A 2D intersection should only be used when no 3D intersection exists between the two entities.
