Question
How to differentiate between different snapping points on an edge?
Answer
When the mouse cursor hovers over edges (such as lines and curves) or planes (like surfaces), the cursor icon automatically changes based on the snapping location. This helps users identify the type of snap point they are interacting with.
To better understand the meaning of each snapping cursor type, please refer to the table provided below.
| Name | Image | Description |
| Vertex | Snaps the endpoints of a line. | |
| Middle | Snaps the center of a line. | |
| Center | Snaps the center point of circles, arcs, and planes. | |
| Quadrant | Snaps the quadrants of circles, ellipses, and arcs. | |
| Nearest | Snaps any position on the line closest to the mouse cursor. | |
| Intersection | Snaps intersections between lines or lines and planes. | |
| Grid | Snaps intersections on the grid. | |
| Division | Snaps the division position of the edge according to the set number of divisions. | |
| Parallel | Snaps in a direction parallel to the 1D Edge. | |
| Perpendicular | Snaps in a direction perpendicular or to a location that meets the 1D Edge. | |
| Horizontal | Snaps in a direction parallel to the Local-X of the plane. | |
| Vertical | Snaps in a direction parallel to the Local-Y of the plane. | |
| Tangent | Snaps the location tangent to a curved 1D Edge (Circle, Arc). | |
| Extension | Snaps the location where the extension of the straight 1D Edge meets. |
