Description
The 
Draft Snap Parallel option snaps to an imaginary line parallel to straight edges. The edges can belong to Draft or Arch objects but also to objects created with other workbenches.
Up to two edged can be referenced by this snap option and Draft Snap Extension, making it possible to snap to virtual intersections. Both snap options can also be combined with other snap options.
This snap option currently does not work if the pointer is next to the referenced edge. You must move the pointer to an area beyond the endpoints of the edge.
Snapping the second point of a line to an invisible line that is parallel to the reference line
Usage
For general information about snapping see Draft Snap.
- Make sure snapping is enabled. See:
Draft Snap Lock. - If Draft Snap Parallel is not active do one of the following:
- Press the
Draft Snap Parallel button in the Draft snap toolbar. - Press the button in the Draft snap widget and in the menu select the Snap Perpendicular option.
- Press the
- Choose a Draft or Arch command to create your geometry.
- Note that you can also change snap options while a command is active.
- Pick a first point. This snap option requires a previous point. The parallel snap line will start from this point.
- Move the pointer over a straight edge.
- The edge is highlighted.
- If you now move the pointer around the first point you will see a dashed line appear when the indicated point is on the parallel snap line.
- The point is marked and the icon is displayed near the pointer.
- Click to confirm the point.
