Description

Snaps the currently active string to the mid-point of another selected string segment.

This function is an extension of the snap-to-point-data-switch.

With both switches active, it is possible to snap to both the mid-points and the end points of strings. If the snap-to-mid-string-switch is not active, only the end-points may be snapped to.

  1. In the Snapping toolbar, ensure that the Snap to String Data button is selected.

  2. In the Snapping toolbar, click the Snap Mode Points button.

  3. Draw or extend a string using the left mouse button then, to activate the mid-segment function, right-click close to the string segment whose mid-point the current string should end at. The string segment closest to the right-click is located, and a line is drawn to the mid point of that segment.
