The Draft Snap Endpoint command toggles the Snap Endpoint option which snaps to the endpoints of segments.

Snapping the second point of a line to the endpoint of an edge of a rectangle

Usage

For general information about snapping and the related preferences see: Draft Snap.

Make sure snapping is enabled. See: Draft Snap Lock.
If Snap Endpoint is not switched on do one of the following:
- Press the Draft Snap Endpoint button in the Draft snap toolbar.
- Press the button in the Draft snap widget and in the menu select the Snap Endpoint option.
Choose a Draft or Arch command to create your geometry.
Move the pointer over a segment.
The segment is highlighted.
If an endpoint is found the point is marked and the icon is displayed near the pointer.
Optionally move the pointer closer to the other endpoint to select that point instead.
Click to confirm the point.
