Description

This method snaps to the points of circles and arcs at increments of 30° and 45° on the arc. The snapping angle is determined by the horizontal of the arc's center.

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

  1. Make sure Draft ToggleSnap and Snap Angle are turned on.
  2. Choose a Draft tool to draw a shape.
  3. Move the cursor over a circle or arc object.
  4. The circle or arc will be highlighted in yellow, and a small white circle will indicate the point on the arc to which your new point will be attached; this point will make an angle with the horizontal of 30° or 45°, or integer multiples of those.
  5. Move the cursor to a different position on the circle to choose a different attachment point.
  6. Click to attach your new point.

Notes

The following snapping angles are offered: 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 135°, 150°, 180°, 210°, 225°, 240°, 270°, 300°, 315°, and 330°.
