Command Overview

A digitizing switch that, if enabled, will snap to nearby data regardless of the current snap settings.

If no data is nearby, non-snapping/freeform digitizing is performed.

This mode can be used in conjunction with other digitizing modes such as Auto Node, for example.

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.
