Use Object Snaps
Use object snaps to specify precise locations on objects. For example, you can
use an object snap to draw a line to the center of a circle or to the midpoint
of a polyline segment.
You can specify an object snap whenever you are prompted for a point. By
default, a marker and a tooltip are displayed when you move the cursor over
an object snap location on an object. This feature, called AutoSnap
a visual clue that indicates which object snaps are in effect.
For a list of object snaps, see OSNAP.
Specify an Object Snap
To specify an object snap at a prompt for a point, you can
When prompted for a point, right-click and choose an object snap from
the Snap Overrides sub-menu
Enter the name of an object snap at the Command prompt
On the status bar, right-click the object snap button
When you specify an object snap at a prompt for a point, the object snap stays
in effect only for the next point that you specify.
NOTE Object snaps work only when you are prompted for a point. If you try to
use an object snap at the Command prompt, an error message is displayed.
Use Running Object Snaps
If you need to use one or more object snaps repeatedly, you can turn on running
object snaps. For example, you might set Center as a running object snap if
you need to connect the centers of a series of circles with a line.
