• End point - Snap points at all end points indicated by squares

• Midpoint - Snap point at center of lines indicated by triangles

• Arc/circle center - Snap points at center of arcs and circles indicated by circles

• Tangent from end point - Snap points at tangent angle to end points indicated by tangent guides

• Perpendicular from end point - Snap points perpendicular angle to end points indicated by perpendicular guides

• Tangent/perpendicular from line - Snap points at tangent and perpendicular angles along lines indicated by tangent and perpendicular guides

• Parallel to line - Lines parallel to the sketched line indicated by highlighting

• Parallel to grid - Snap enabled parallel to the grid when snap to grid is disabled

• Grid - Snap enabled to the grid
