Snaps enable you to place Spatial Objects next to other objects or CAD lines, or at a certain point on the grid, with greater speed and accuracy. They are also useful when positioning objects in line with the Grid, if you have displayed and enabled it.

To activate one (or more) of the types of Snap, click on the appropriate icon or icons on the Snaps toolbar. To switch a particular Snap off, click its icon again; the grey border around the active icon disappears.

The following table contains the Grid functions and available Snaps within LEGION Model Builder.

Icon	Name	Function	Snap symbol
	Snap to Grid	Cursor snaps to the vertices of the Grid, whether the Grid is visible or not.	N/A
	Show Axes	Displays the X and Y axes in your model.	N/A
	Orthogonal Snap	Means you can only draw lines at 90° angles to your reference point.	N/A
	Snap to End-point	Cursor snaps to the ends of lines or corners of polygons.
	Snap to mid-point	Cursor snaps to the mid-point of lines or sides of polygons.
	Snap to Nearest	Cursor snaps to the nearest point on lines or sides of polygons.
	Snap to Centre	Cursor snaps to nearest centre of a circle or arc.
	Snap to Intersection	Cursor snaps to the nearest (actual or projected) intersection of any pair of segments.

To use snaps

1. Click on one or more of the Snap icons described in the table above.
2. Draw new lines or objects, or move existing lines or objects.

   When you move the cursor close to another Spatial Object or CAD element, the Snap symbol appears and snaps temporarily onto any obstacles or Spatial Objects at highlighted points defined by the Snap type(s) you selected (mid-point, end-point, etc.).

   Note: As a reference guide, when you move an existing line or object, its initial location is highlighted in red and a white line displayed from that point to the location of your cursor.
3. Click near the highlighted point to snap the vertex you are drawing or moving directly onto this point.

   If there are no highlighted points near to snap to, you may click and place the line or object where you please.

Priority of Snaps

Snaps are prioritised so that if two possible snapping points are within range, the one with the highest priority is chosen. The order of priority is as follows: End-point > Mid-pointNearest > Centre > Intersection.
