Description
The Draft Snap Ortho option snaps to imaginary lines that cross the previous point at 0°, 45°, 90° and 135°. The lines and angles are relative to the XY plane of the working plane coordinate system.
Snapping the second point of a line to a line that makes an angle of 45° with the horizontal. Small circles indicate all possible snapping directions.
Usage
For general information about snapping see Draft Snap.
- Make sure snapping is enabled. See Draft Snap Lock.
- If Draft Snap Ortho is not active do one of the following:
- Press the Draft Snap Ortho button in the Draft Snap toolbar.
- Press the button in the Draft snap widget.
- Choose a Draft or Arch command to create your geometry.
- Note that you can also change snap options while a command is active.
- Pick a first point. This snap option requires a previous point.
- If you move the cursor around the previous point and are on an imaginary infinite line crossing that point at an angle of 0°, 45°, 90° or 135° the icon is displayed near the cursor.
- Click to confirm the point.
