Multi-Snaps

There are three snap modes called multi-snaps. Unlike an ordinary snap mode, a multi-snap represents a list of other snaps. When a multi-snap is active, AccuSnap and Tentative Point snap will process the list of snaps that it represents.

The following table shows the default contents of the three multi-snaps:

SNAP MULTISNAP3

You can modify the contents of a multi-snap using the Multi-snap Settings dialog. The dialog displays all possible snaps for the multi-snap chosen in the icon bar. Snaps currently included in the chosen multi-snap are marked with a check mark. Snap modes can be included or excluded from the multi-snap by checking or unchecking the corresponding check box. The definition of each multi-snap is stored in the user's preference file.

Note: If the Multi-snap Settings dialog is open and a different multi-snap mode is activated, the dialog automatically displays the contents of that multi-snap.
