Using Object Snap
When you turn on multiple running object snaps, the software uses the object snap most appropriate
to the object you select. If two potential snap points fall within the selection area,the softwaresnaps
to the eligible point closest to the center of the target box.
You can add to or subtract from your object snap modes without exiting a current command. Right-
click OSNAP on the status bar and then click Settings. Add additional modes or remove modes. When
you click OK, you return to the drawing area and can continue creating your design.
