Using Snaps
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.
To use snaps
- Click on one or more of the Snap icons described in the table above.
- 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.).
- 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.
