This method snaps to the points of circles and arcs at specific increments of 30° and 45° on the arc; this includes 0°, 60°, 90°, 180°, 210°, 270°, and other integer multiples.
Snapping the second point of a line to the circle, at the 45° angle on the arc; small circles indicate all possible snapping locations
Usage
- Make sure
Draft ToggleSnap and 
Snap Angle are turned on. - Choose a Draft tool to draw a shape.
