Set Visual Aids for Object Snaps (AutoSnap)
Object snaps include a visual aid called AutoSnap
object snaps more efficiently. AutoSnap displays a marker and a tooltip when
you move your cursor over an object snap location.
AutoSnap Tools
AutoSnap consists of the following snap tools:
Marker. Displays the object snap location when the cursor moves over
or near an object. Marker shape is dependent on the snap it is marking.
Tooltip. Describes which part of the object you are snapping to in a small
flag at the cursor location.
Aperture box. Surrounds the crosshairs and defines an area within which
object snaps are evaluated. You can choose to display or not display the
aperture box, and you can change the aperture box size.
