Description

This snap mode shows temporary X and Y dimensions between the current point and the last snapped point on screen while snapping.

After having snapped a first (reference) point, temporary dimensions locate the current point to be snapped

Usage

  1. Make sure Draft ToggleSnap and Snap Dimensions are turned on.
  2. Choose a Draft tool to draw a shape.
  3. Click a first point to set the reference point
  4. Move the mouse to observe the distance between the reference point and the current point

Limitations

  • The reference point is projected onto the grid's plane; the distance to the current point is given relative to the projected point.
