Description

The Draft Snap Angle option snaps to the special cardinal points on circular edges, at multiples of 30° and 45°. The edges can belong to Draft or Arch objects but also to objects created with other workbenches.

This snap option currently only works properly for circular edges on a plane parallel to the XY plane of the global coordinate system, the angles are relative to that plane.

Snapping the second point of a line to the -30° point on a circular edge. The small magenta circles indicate all available special cardinal points.

Usage

For general information about snapping see Draft Snap.

  1. Make sure snapping is enabled. See Draft Snap Lock.
  2. If Draft Snap Angle is not active do one of the following:
    • Press the button in the Draft Snap toolbar.
    • Press the button in the Draft snap widget and in the menu select the Snap Angle option.
  3. Choose a Draft or Arch command to create your geometry.
  4. Note that you can also change snap options while a command is active.
  5. Move the cursor over a circular edge.
  6. The edge is highlighted.
  7. If a cardinal point is found the point is marked and the icon is displayed near the cursor.
  8. Optionally move the cursor closer to another cardinal point to select that point instead.
  9. Click to confirm the point.

Preferences

See Draft Snap.
