Snap Modes > Snap Active (F6) (Extra Menu)

This command can be used to turn the snapping function on and off. It can only be turned on if at least one snap mode is active. If the snapping function is active, points which are entered 'jump', according to the snap mode, to a defined point in the drawing or a point is inserted at a position calculated according to object identification.

Snapping can also be turned on or off by left-clicking the button in the panel shown above. The button shows the snapping function's current status.

During point entry, the snapping function can be briefly (de)activated by holding down the SHIFT key.

If snapping is on, four small lines are shown on the crosshairs. Their distance from the crosshairs' intersection shows the current Snap Radius. This determines how closely a point must be clicked to in order to use it as a snapping reference. The snap radius can also be set by right-clicking the button in the panel shown above. The value shown in the button is the snap radius.
