or edge before it snaps to it.
5. Select the Enabled check box, if you want to turn on snapping for angular rotation.
Enter the multiplier for the snapping angle, for example 45, in the Angles box. In this example, the
cursor is set to snap to 45, 90, 135 degrees, and so on.
Enter the snapping tolerance, for example 5, in the Angle Sensitivity box. This determines how
