Snap Smart

Edit Bar controls: none.

If this tool is activated, the smart snap mode automatically chooses the nearest of the following snap points:

  • End
  • Intersection
  • Mid
  • Grid
  • Quad
  • Block Insert (only if Insert origins are visible)

Normally the tool does not indicate which type of point is being chosen.

The cursor is modified to show "Smart” to indicate that the snap mode is active, however, when this mode is used in conjunction with snapping cursors (see Snap Settings), the cursor indicates the position and type of the snap.
