Command Overview

Toggles the mechanism for snapping to data.

There are two possible states, which interchange with subsequent uses of the command:

  • Snapping will be performed using any mouse button.

  • Snapping will only be performed with mouse button 3 (default).

Note: There's no need to set up snapping modes when digitizing data (say, a polygon feature) onto a wireframe map. The closest wireframe vertex will always be the point at which a line vertex is positioned.
