Make sure snapping is enabled. See Draft Snap Lock.
If Draft Snap Special is not active do one of the following:
- Press the button in the Draft Snap toolbar.
- Press the button in the Draft snap widget and in the menu select the Snap Special option.

If a special point is found the point is marked and the icon is displayed near the cursor.
If the object has multiple special points: optionally move the cursor closer to another special point.
