Snaps to the insertion point of an attribute, a block, or text.
Perpendicular
Snaps to a point perpendicular to an arc, circle, ellipse, elliptical arc, line,
polyline, ray, region, 2D solid, spline, or xline.
Deferred Perpendicular snap mode is automatically turned on when the object
you are drawing requires that you complete more than one perpendicular
snap. You can use a line, arc, circle, polyline, ray, or xline as an object from
which to draw a perpendicular line. You can use Deferred Perpendicular to
draw perpendicular lines between such objects. When the aperture box passes
over a Deferred Perpendicular snap point, an AutoSnap
™
tooltip and marker
are displayed.
Tangent
Snaps to the tangent of an arc, circle, ellipse, elliptical arc, or spline. Deferred
Tangent snap mode is automatically turned on when the object you are
drawing requires that you complete more than one tangent snap. You can use
Deferred Tangent to draw a line or xline that is tangent to arcs, polyline arcs,
or circles. When the aperture box passes over a Deferred Tangent snap point,
a marker and an AutoSnap tooltip are displayed.
NOTE When you use the From option in conjunction with the Tangent snap mode
to draw objects other than lines from arcs or circles, the first point drawn is tangent
to the arc or circle in relation to the last point selected in the drawing area.
Nearest
Snaps to the nearest point on an arc, circle, ellipse, elliptical arc, line, point,
polyline, ray, spline, or xline.
