Snap Grid

You can use a grid to force the cursor to stop in regular increments.

Most drawing probably doesn't lend itself to restricting cursor movement, but there are times when drawing in modules such as  two feet or 100mm is desired.

This is when the snap grid comes in handy.

From the View menu, you can

• Turn the grid on.
• show or hide visible lines showing the grid.
• Adjust the spacing between grid points.

Or you can click the snap labels in the Status Bar.

(a Snap Grid spacing is saved for each zoom level)

You will use the Snap Grid Settings form  to adjust the grid spacing.

See Preferences Snap Grid for other options.

Press the Control key to overide the Snap Grid action.
