SNAP MODES IN AllyCAD
 |
Snap modes allow you to complete your drawings with precision.
|
In Snap Mode, the cursor moves exactly onto an existing part of the drawing and the point that is snapped to is accepted.
This move and accept is performed each time you press 'Enter' or your left mouse button.
A Snap Mode is therefore useful if you must continuously snap onto the same type of point, for example if you are drawing lines between grid points and must continually snap onto those grid points.
The Snap Mode saves you having to jump to the point and then accepting it as two separate actions.
The different snap modes that may be accessed in AllyCAD include: Grid, Grab All, Point, Freehand, Geom Intersection, Circle Centre, Perpendicular, Nearest Line / Arc, Tangent and Intersection.
