# Move the cursor over a line segment or edge of another object to select one of the endpoints.
*draft elements (DWires, Lines, Arcs, Bezier Curves)
# The edge will be highlighted in yellow, and a small white circle will indicate the vertex to which your point will be attached.
*edges of shapes
# Click to attach your new point.
*edges of solids
Clicking on the snap-mode icon will toggle the snap mode on/off.
