# If '''Draft Snap Endpoint''' is not active do one of the following:
#* Press the {{Button|[[Image:Draft_Snap_Endpoint.svg|16px]]}} button in the Draft Snap toolbar.
#* Press the {{Button|[[Image:Draft_Snap_Lock.svg|16px]][[Image:Toolbar_flyout_arrow.svg|8px]]}} button in the [[Draft_snap_widget|Draft snap widget]] and in the menu select the {{MenuCommand|[[Image:Draft_Snap_Endpoint.svg|16px]] Snap Endpoint}} option.
# Choose a [[Draft_Workbench|Draft]] or [[Arch_Workbench|Arch]] command to create your geometry.
# Note that you can also change snap options while a command is active.
# Move the cursor over an edge.
# The edge is highlighted.
# If an endpoint is found the point is marked and the [[Image:Draft_Snap_Endpoint.svg|16px]] icon is displayed near the cursor.
# Optionally move the cursor closer to the other endpoint to select that point instead.
