Snap Modes > Relative (Extra Menu)

The snap modes determine which type of point should be used as a snapping reference. There are various snap modes, some of which can be used together. The snap modes take effect when snapping is active. Snapping can be turned on or off using the F6 Key or the first button in the Panel. It can be temporarily (de)activated during point entry using the SHIFT key.

Snapping reference points can be placed at a specific offset to a given point. After entering the reference point (either directly or using another snapping mode), a dialog appears, allowing to enter the offset.

The "Relative" snap mode can be combined with any other snapping mode(s), or it can be activated alone.

Optionally, this snap mode can be turned on or off by left-clicking the button in the panel shown above. In addition the button always shows the snap mode's current status.
