Setting the tolerance

To allow even inaccurately created drawings to be used, i.e. to compensate for gaps in the
geometry, you can enter a snap radius in millimeters. This relates elements.
Note
Large snap radius
The larger that the snap radius is set, the larger the number of available following elements.

be located.
Procedure
