Snap Modes > Special Point (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 other points using this command. "Special Points" are all definition points which cannot have snapping reference points placed on them with other snap modes, for example the pivot points of Bézier curves, end points of ellipse's half axes, position points of dimensions, the corners of multiple line text frames, etc. To place a snapping reference point on one of these points, simply click near it.

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.
