Description

This method snaps to the special location points defined by a particular object, such as an Arch Wall.

Snapping the second point of a line to the special point of an Arch Wall, which is the vertex of its base wire

Usage

Make sure Draft ToggleSnap and Snap Special are turned on.
Choose a Draft tool to draw a shape.
Move the cursor over a special object, such as an Arch Wall.
A small white circle will indicate the special point to which your new point will be attached.
Click to attach your new point.

Notes

The special points that serve as snapping points depend entirely on the object; these could be:

Vertices of base lines of Arch Walls.
Base points of Arch Structures.
SnapPoints of Arch Equipment.
Any point defined in the SnapPoints attribute of an object, if it exists. The vectors defined in the SnapPoints attribute (a VectorList property) are transformed together with the object placement before snapping.
