Snapping to Points in the 3D View
Snap to points (for example, named points, geometry points, geometry face centre, geometry edge centre, mesh vertices and grid) in the 3D view.
-
Press and hold down Ctrl+Shift while hovering
with the mouse cursor over the model.
Note:
- An active snapping point is indicated by a dot
- Special snapping points near the mouse cursor are indicated by a dot with a cyan outline.
- A preview of the geometry is displayed in green (transparent).
Figure 1. Press Ctrl+Shift to view the snapping preview.
-
Left click on a dot and release Ctrl+Shift to
snap to that point.
When snapping to align a new workplane, the history of the starting point and the route followed to the destination points, affects the orientation of the workplane (for example the orientation of an edge).
