Set Visual Aids for Object Snaps (AutoSnap)
Object snaps include a visual aid called AutoSnap™ to help you see and use
object snaps more efficiently. When you use any of the object snap settings,
AutoSnap displays a marker and a tooltip when you move your cursor over a
snap point. AutoSnap is automatically turned on when you enter an object
snap on the command line or turn on object snaps in the Drafting Settings
dialog box.
AutoSnap Tools
AutoSnap consists of the following snap tools:
■ Marker. Displays the object snap location when the cursor moves over or
near an object. Marker shape is dependent on the snap it is marking.
■ Tooltip. Describes which part of the object you are snapping to in a small
flag at the cursor location.
