To Snap a Tentative Point to an Element When More than One Element Lies at the Desired Snap Point

  1. Enable snapping.
  2. Position the pointer on or near the desired point.
  3. Press the Tentative button.

    Of the elements at the desired snap point, a tentative point will snap to the element that was placed in the design earliest. That element is highlighted.

  4. Optional: If the desired element was not snapped to (highlighted), press the Tentative button again.

    Of the remaining elements at the desired snap point (the ones to which a tentative point has not snapped), a tentative point snaps to the element that was placed in the design earliest. That element is highlighted.

  5. Optional: Repeat step 4 until the desired element is highlighted.
