Cursor Snap Functions
You can snap to a point either by clicking with the cursor or by using general snap functions. Select a function from the context-sensitive menu or use a keyboard shortcut. The search function of the point reset relative displacement coordinates dx,dy,dz to the point searched, and then the point is a local zero point.

Relative Snap
By pressing Shift+the key, you can snap to a point on an object without selecting the point, i.e. so that the relative offset coordinates are not reset. You can reset the offset coordinates after this by pressing the Q key, and, for example, locking the cursor and entering an offset from the point. The following relative snap functions are available:
- To line Shift+L
- To point Shift+X
- To intersection point Shift+S
Note: If you have added a grid in a drawing or model, you can snap the cursor to points on the grid by pressing the angle brackets keys (< or >) on the keyboard. You can add a grid by editing the general drawing properties.
