Snapping means "gluing" your next 3d point onto an existing point. Snapping is available with most Draft and Arch tools, and can be enabled and disabled globally with the 
Draft ToggleSnap command. Each snap location below can also be enabled or disabled individually by clicking the corresponding button on the snap toolbar.
Available snap locations
Midpoint: the middle point of line and arc segments
Perpendicular: on line and arc segments, perpendicularly to the latest point
Grid: the nodes of the Draft grid, if visible.
Intersection: the intersection of 2 line or arc segments. Hover the mouse over the two desired objects to activate their intersection snaps
Parallel: on an imaginary line parallel to a line segment. Hover the mouse over the desired object to activate its parallel snap
Endpoint: the endpoints of line, arc and spline segments
Angle: the special cardinal points of circles and arcs, at 45° and 90°
Center: the center point of arcs and circles
Extension: on an imaginary line that extends beyond the endpoints of line segments. Hover the mouse over the desired object to activate its extension snap
Near: the closest point on the nearest object
Ortho: on imaginary lines that cross the last point, and extend at 0°, 45° and 90°
Dimensions
Restrict to working plane: always places the snapped point on the current working plane, even if you snap to a point outside that working plane.
Options
Lock: turns snapping on/off globally- Certain additional snap locations can be obtained by combining 2 snap locations, such as ortho + extension, that will give you a snap point at the intersection of their imaginary lines.
- Other, more complex snap locations can also be obtained by using constraining (by pressing SHIFT or X or Y or Z while drawing).
- Pressing L while drawing locks the current angle of the line segment being drawn.
- The maximum distance at which a point is snapped a snap location is specified in the preferences, and can also be changed on-the-fly by pressing [ or ] keys.
