Description

Toggles entity snap modes at the Command line (short for "object snap").

Note: Entity snaps help you draw and edit precisely by snapping the cursor to the nearest geometric feature.

Options within the command

NEArest: Toggles nearest entity snap mode. Snaps to the nearest point on any entity.; Note: Can also toggle with the NEAREST command.

ENDpoint: Toggles endpoint entity snap mode. Snaps to the endpoints of open entities, such as lines, arcs, open polylines, and open splines.; Note: Can also be toggled with the ENDPOINT command.

MIDpoint: Toggles midpoint entity snap mode. Snaps to the midpoint of open entities.; Note: Can also be toggled with the MIDPOINT command.

CENter: Toggles center entity snap mode. Snaps to the center of circular entities, such as circles, arcs, and polyarcs.; Note: Can also be toggled with the CENTER command.

GeometriC cEnter: Toggles geometric center entity (GCenter) snap mode. Snaps to the centroid of any closed polylines and splines, planar 3d polylines, regions and planar faces of 3D solids.; Note: Can also be toggled with the GCENTER command.

PERpendicular: Toggles perpendicular entity snap mode. Snaps to the perpendicular of one entity to another.; Note: Can also be toggled with the PERPENDICULAR command.

TANgent: Toggles Tangent entity snap mode. Snaps to the tangencies of circular entities.; Note: Can also be toggled with the TANGENT command.

QUAdrant: Toggles quadrant entity snap mode. Snaps to the quadrant points of circular entities, such as circles, arcs, and polyarcs.; Note: Can also be toggled with the QUADRANT command.

INSertion point: Toggles insertion entity snap mode. Snaps to the insertion point of blocks and text.; Note: Can also be toggled with the INSERTION command.

POInt: Toggles node entity snap mode. Snaps to point entities.; Note: Can also be toggled with the NODE command.

EXTension: Toggles extension entity snap mode. Snaps to the intersection of open entities, as if they were extended to the point of intersection.; Note: Can also be toggled with the EXTENSION command.

PARallel: Toggles parallel entity snap mode. Snaps to the parallel point of entities. Allows to draw lines, polyline segments, xlines and rays parallel to another entity.; Note: Can also be toggled with the PARALLEL command.

INTersection: Toggles intersection entity snap mode. Snaps to the intersection of any pair of entities.; Note: Can also be toggled with the INTERSECTION and 3DINTERSECTION commands.

APParent intersection: Toggles Apparent entity snap mode. Snaps to the apparent intersection of entities in 3D space.; Note: Can also be toggled with the APPARENT and 2DINTERSECTION commands.

NON: Clears entity snaps.

ON: Turns all entity snap modes on.

OFF: Turns all entity snap modes off.

Note: Modes can also be turned off with the NONE command.
