Snapping Options for Editing Solids

Incremental Options
Linear snap

Select to snap to constrain to a linear increment and set the linear interval for tool movements in the Incremental area.

For example, if you set the Linear increment to 1 mm, you will pull to whole millimeters instead of fractions of millimeters.

Angular snap

Select to snap to constrain to an angle increment and set the degree interval for tool movements in the Incremental area.

For example, if you set the Angular increment to 5 degrees, you will move in larger increments than if set to 1 degree.

Objects
Enable snapping to solids with the Shift key

Select to snap when you press and hold Shift using any tool.

Check the box next to each situation or object in the list to determine when a tool will snap while editing solids:

  • Face parallel - Snap to a parallel face

  • Rotate parallel to face - Snap to a parallel face when rotating

  • Rotate perpendicular to face - Snap to a perpendicular face when rotating

  • Edge - Snap to any edge

  • Cylinder radius - Snap to the radius of a cylinder

  • Round radius - When creating a round, snap its radius the value of an existing round on the component
