You can set how a node or object snaps to other objects.

To set snapping options:

1.     Select a single object for editing.

2.     On the top bar of the object’s property sheet or mini toolbar, click Set Snapping Options .

3.     Toggle on any of the following options:

§  Node Snapping – Snap object or node to nodes of other objects or features.

§  Line Segment Snapping – Snap object or node to line segments of other objects or features.

§  3D Snapping – Smart snap object or node to dynamically-identified edges and corners of any element in the 3D World.

§  Directional Snapping – Constrain the object line segments currently being drawn to pre-defined angle increments. The angle constraint can either be absolute, i.e., relative to true north or relative to the previous line segment.

§  Segment Distance on Edit – Show segment lengths while editing a polygon/polyline.
