  Default Snap Mode button bar

There is one button for each type of snap and a button to turn AccuSnap on and off. By default the Snap Mode toolbox is docked along the top, between the Main and AccuDraw toolboxes. During markup creation, the Near Snap is the default.

In addition, the buttons for contextually inappropriate snap modes are disabled (dimmed).

• The Key Point Snap, Center Snap and Intersect Snap appear on the button bar by default.

• The Tangent Snap is only enabled for the Place SmartLine, Place Line, Place Multi-line, Place Circle, Place Arc, and Place Shape tools.

• The Perpendicular Snap is only enabled for the Place SmartLine, Place Line, Place Multi-line, and Place Shape tools.

• The snaps used with dynamic alignments (Tangent Point Snap, Perpendicular Snap Point, Parallel Snap, Thru Point Snap, and Point On Snap) are enabled for the Place Line, Place Circle, Place Arc, Place Multi-line, Place Shape, and Place Ellipse tools; the actual buttons enabled often change as you enter data points, lock values in the Tool Settings window, etc. By default, these snaps do not appear on the Snap Mode button bar. Right-click the button bar and select any of these snaps if you want them to appear on the button bar.

• By default, Multi-snap 1, Multi–snap 2, and Multi-snap 3 do not appear on the Snap Mode button bar. Right-click the button bar and select any of these snaps if you want them to appear on the button bar. Multi-snap 1 defaults to Intersection, Keypoint, Nearest. Multi-snap 2 defaults to Intersection, Keypoint, Center. Multi-snap 3 defaults to Midpoint, Intersection, Center.
