Command Overview

Set the snap mode to toggle snapping to object lines. If enabled, when the right-mouse button is used the cursor location will be set at the X Y and Z coordinate of a point on a line that is nearest to the cursor when the button is pressed. LINES available for snapping include strings and drill holes.

Tip: The snapping mode can be changed while in the middle of executing another command, such as defining a string. For example, the first point on a new string could be set at (4000,2000,6000) using a grid snapping mode, and then other points on the string defined by snapping to other objects by toggling a points snap mode during digitizing.

Command Steps

  1. Run the command.

  2. Run the required, relevant design commands which would make use of this snap mode e.g. new-string.
