Snapping to the boundary
- While rotating your design it may be necessary to square it off to one of the boundaries
- Click the toggle snap icon then click and drag your design to the boundary you would like it square with
This only works with your design and the boundary line. The design will not snap to an existing structure.
- Click and hold the design. Drag it towards the boundary for it to snap
Sometime you may need to rotate the design slightly to assist the snap.
Turn off toggle snap before dragging the design away to prevent it from snapping to another boundary.
Snapping with the drawing tools
- Turn on toggle snap before selecting the drawing tools or ruler
- When hovering on the edge of the boundary, a polygon, or design the curser will snap to that edge
When drawing lines and shapes the green dotted line will run at a 90 degree angle to the boundary or previous line.
- While drawing, move the mouse towards the green dotted line and it will snap to it.
