SNAP MODE ON

1. Left-click the SNAP MODE button in the Status Bar to turn ON the SNAP

option.

2. Move the cursor inside the graphics window, and move the cursor diagonally

on the screen. Observe the movement of the cursor and watch the coordinates

display at the bottom of the screen.

 The SNAP option controls an invisible rectangular grid that restricts cursor

movement to specified intervals. When SNAP mode is on, the screen cursor and

all input coordinates are snapped to the nearest point on the grid. The default snap

interval is 0.5 inches, and aligned to the grid points on the screen.

3. Click on the Line icon in the Draw toolbar. In the

command prompt area, the message “_line Specify

first point:” is displayed.

4. On your own, create another sketch of the five-point star with the GRID and

SNAP options switched ON.
