Note: When working in perspective view, you cannot track along the extension line of an arc or elliptical arc. Insertion Snaps to the insertion point of objects such as an attribute, a block, or text.

Perpendicular Snaps to a point perpendicular to the selected geometric object. Deferred Perpendicular snap mode is automatically turned on when the object you are drawing requires that you complete more than one perpendicular snap. You can use an object such as a line, arc, circle, polyline, ray, xline, multiline, or 3D solid edge as an object from which to draw a perpendicular line.

You can use Deferred Perpendicular to draw perpendicular lines between such objects. When your cursor passes over a Deferred Perpendicular snap point, an AutoSnap ™ tooltip and marker are displayed. Note: When you use the From option in conjunction with the Tangent snap mode to draw objects other than lines from arcs or circles, the first point drawn is tangent to the arc or circle in relation to the last point selected in the drawing area. Nearest Snaps to the nearest point on an object such as an arc, circle, ellipse, elliptical arc, line, point, polyline, ray, spline, or xline. Apparent Intersection Snaps to the visual intersection of two objects that do not intersect in 3D space but may appear to intersect in the current view. Extended Apparent Intersection snaps to the imaginary intersection of objects that would appear to intersect if the objects were extended along their natural paths. Apparent and Extended Apparent Intersection do not work with edges or corners of 3D solids.

Note: Results may vary if both the Intersection and Apparent Intersection running object snaps are turned on. Parallel Constrains a new line segment, polyline segment, ray or xline to be parallel to an existing linear object that you identify by hovering your cursor. After you specify the first point of a linear object, specify the parallel object snap. Unlike other object snap modes, you move the cursor and hover over another linear object until the angle is acquired. Then, move the cursor back toward the object that you are creating.

When the path of the object is parallel to the previous linear object, an alignment path is displayed, which you can use to create the parallel object.

Snap Spacing Controls an invisible, rectangular grid of snap locations that restricts cursor movement to specified X and Y intervals. Snap X Spacing Specifies the snap spacing in the X direction. The value must be a positive real number. (SNAPUNIT system variable) Snap Y Spacing Specifies the snap spacing in the Y direction. The value must be a positive real number.

(SNAPUNIT system variable) Equal X and Y Spacing Forces the X and Y spacing to the same values for snap spacing and for grid spacing. The snap spacing intervals can be different from the grid spacing intervals. Snap Type Sets the snap style and snap type. Grid Snap Sets the snap type to Grid. When you specify points, the cursor snaps along vertical or horizontal grid points. (SNAPTYPE system variable) Rectangular Snap: Sets the snap style to standard Rectangular snap mode.

When the snap type is set to Grid snap and Snap mode is on, the cursor snaps to a rectangular snap grid. (SNAPSTYL system variable) Isometric Snap Sets the snap style to Isometric snap mode. When the snap type is set to Grid snap and Snap mode is on, the cursor snaps to an isometric snap grid. (SNAPSTYL system variable) PolarSnap Sets the snap type to Polar. When Snap mode is on and you specify points with polar tracking turned on, the cursor snaps along polar alignment angles set on the Polar Tracking tab relative to the starting polar tracking point.

(SNAPTYPE system variable). Note: The limits of the grid are controlled by the LIMITS command and the GRIDDISPLAY system variable. Grid X Spacing Specifies the grid spacing in the X direction. If this value is 0, the grid assumes the value set for Snap X Spacing. (GRIDUNIT system variable) Grid Y Spacing Specifies the grid spacing in the Y direction.

If this value is 0, the grid assumes the value set for Snap Y Spacing. (GRIDUNIT system variable) Major Line Every Specifies the frequency of major grid lines compared to minor grid lines. Grid lines rather than grid dots are displayed when GRIDSTYLE is set to 0.

(GRIDMAJOR system variable). Grid Behavior Controls the appearance of the grid lines that are displayed when GRIDSTYLE is set to 0.

Adaptive Grid Limits the density of the grid when zoomed out. (GRIDDISPLAY system variable) Allow Subdivision Below Grid Spacing: Generates additional, more closely spaced grid lines when zoomed in. The frequency of these grid lines is determined by the frequency of the major grid lines. Modern furniture. (GRIDDISPLAY and GRIDMAJOR system variables) Display Grid Beyond Limits Displays the grid beyond the area specified by the LIMITS command. (GRIDDISPLAY system variable) Follow Dynamic UCS Changes the grid plane to follow the XY plane of the dynamic UCS. (GRIDDISPLAY system variable).

Polar Angle Settings Sets the alignment angles for polar tracking. (POLARANG system variable) Increment Angle Sets the polar increment angle used to display polar tracking alignment paths. You can select a common angle of 90, 45, 30, 22.5, 18, 15, 10, or 5 degrees from the list. (POLARANG system variable) Additional Angles Makes any additional angles in the list available for polar tracking.

The Additional Angles check box is also controlled by the POLARMODE system variable, and the list of additional angles is also controlled by the POLARADDANG system variable. Note: When working in perspective view, you cannot track along the extension line of an arc or elliptical arc. Insertion Snaps to the insertion point of an attribute, a block, a shape, or text.

Perpendicular Snaps to a point perpendicular to an arc, circle, ellipse, elliptical arc, line, multiline, polyline, ray, region, solid, spline, or xline. Deferred Perpendicular snap mode is automatically turned on when the object you are drawing requires that you complete more than one perpendicular snap. You can use a line, arc, circle, polyline, ray, xline, multiline, or 3D solid edge as an object from which to draw a perpendicular line. You can use Deferred Perpendicular to draw perpendicular lines between such objects. When the aperture box passes over a Deferred Perpendicular snap point, an AutoSnap tooltip and marker are displayed. Note: When you use the From option in conjunction with the Tangent snap mode to draw objects other than lines from arcs or circles, the first point drawn is tangent to the arc or circle in relation to the last point selected in the drawing area.

Nearest Snaps to the nearest point on an arc, circle, ellipse, elliptical arc, line, multiline, point, polyline, ray, spline, or xline. Apparent Intersection Snaps to the visual intersection of two objects that are not in the same plane but may appear to intersect in the current view.

Extended Apparent Intersection is not available as a running object snap. Apparent and Extended Apparent Intersection do not work with edges or corners of 3D solids.

Note: You might get varying results if you have both the Intersection and Apparent Intersection running object snaps turned on at the same time. Parallel Constrains a line segment, polyline segment, ray or xline to be parallel to another linear object. After you specify the first point of a linear object, specify the parallel object snap. Unlike other object snap modes, you move the cursor and hover over another linear object until the angle is acquired. Then, move the cursor back toward the object that you are creating.

When the path of the object is parallel to the previous linear object, an alignment path is displayed, which you can use to create the parallel object. Dynamic Prompts Displays prompts in a tooltip near the cursor when necessary in order to complete the command.

You can enter values in the tooltip instead of on the command line. Preview Area Shows an example of dynamic prompts. Show Command Prompting and Command Input near Crosshairs Displays prompts in Dynamic Input tooltips.

(DYNPROMPT system variable) Show Additional Tips with Command Prompting Controls whether tips for using Shift and Ctrl for grip manipulation are displayed. (DYNINFOTIPS system variable).
