  1. Make sure snapping is enabled. See: Draft Snap Lock.
  2. If Draft Snap Intersection is not switched on do one of the following:
  3. Choose a Draft or Arch command to create your geometry.
  4. Note that you can also change snap options while a command is active.
  5. Move the pointer over one of the edges that intersect.
  6. The edge is highlighted.
  7. If an intersection is found the point is marked and the icon is displayed near the pointer.
