If the pointer is within the gravity fields of two or more gravity-snapping candidates, the gravity-snapping candidate closest to the pointer
has priority. If the gravity-snapping candidates are the same distance from the pointer, the pointer snaps to the gravity-snapping candidate
with the higher priority, as listed in the following table.

Gravity-snapping candidate Description Gravity
source indicator
Gravity shortcut key
Pixel Point on the pixel grid S
Node Node on an object N
Intersection Geometric intersection of line
segments, arcs, or guidelines
I
Midpoint Midpoint of line segment M
Quadrant Points that are at 0°, 90°, 180°,
and 270° on a circle, ellipse, or
arc
Q
Tangent Point on the outside edge of an
arc, circle, or ellipse where a line
will touch but not intersect the
object
T
Perpendicular Point on the outside edge of a
segment where a line will be
perpendicular to the object
P
Edge Point that touches the nearest
perpendicular edge (shortest
perpendicular distance from the
pointer to the edge)
E
Center Center of the closest object
(arc, regular polygon, or curve
centroid)
C
Grid Visible or invisible grid point G
Text baseline Point in the baseline of artistic
or paragraph text
