• Icons:

• Shortcuts: Shift+G, Shift+O, Shift+L, Shift+D, Shift+N, Shift+I

Description

In all drawing modes which will modify the design like BoxMode, PolygonMode, CopyMode, etc. the mouse point will snap to near by points. This will ensure an exact point entry with the mouse. How the snapping works can be adjusted via the main menu, a tool bar or short cuts. There are six different kinds of snapping:

• SnapGrid: to any point of the current used grid

• SnapPoint: to any vertex of an existing shape

• SnapLine: to any point on an edge of an existing shape

• SnapMiddleOfLine: to a middle of an edge on an existing shape

• SnapCenter: to a center of a existing shape

• SnapIntersection: to an intersection of two shapes

The snapping can be turn on/off individual. Snapping will not be used in non modifying modes like PointSelectMode, ZoomMode.
