Snapping a single point in Draft

Post by matthyuz »

I created points with the Point tool of the Draft workbench.
Which of the buttons on the Snap toolbar should I activate to capture those points. I can't find it.
Thank you.

Snap Near [on] do the job, but maybe also end point (not tested this last one).
After #ElonMuskBuyTwitter I'm no more on Twitter, that's really enough :-(

Hi, thanks for the reply.
The snap near seems to work.
What does, is that no icon appears on screen showing that said snap was activated, so I don't know when it captured the point.
Perhaps this is something that could be refined.

The "dot" should be bold when you are near or over it. In my FCAD (I use Daily version), it's tiny and barely visibile, but it exist. I don't know if the amout of "bold" of the active snap on 3d view can be changed in some setting or if it's hardcoded.
