If on (default), AccuSnap is automatically enabled when you start MicroStation. When using AccuSnap, in conjunction with AccuDraw, you can use the following AccuDraw shortcuts:
U — suspends AccuSnap for the current tool operation. Selecting a new tool, or entering a Reset re-enables AccuSnap.
J — toggles AccuSnap off/on.
You can also toggle AccuSnap on/off from the Toggle AccuSnap icon on the Snap Mode button bar. |
If on (default), and the pointer is within the range of the Snap Tolerance, AccuSnap displays the nearest snap point with a cross-hair.
If on (default), AccuSnap displays the icon of the current snap mode at the snap point.
For use with the Place SmartLine tool only.
If on (and using Perpendicular Snap mode), AccuSnap sets the snap override (or snap mode if the <Shift> key is pressed) to Perpendicular From, which constrains an element to be perpendicular to another element with the point at which the first element does or would intersect the second element fixed.
If on (and using Tangent Snap mode), AccuSnap sets the snap override (or snap mode if the <Shift> key is pressed) to Tangent From, which constrains an element to be tangent to another element with the point of tangency fixed.
If on, the coordinate readout in the status bar updates for each tentative snap point. That is, each time that AccuSnap snaps to a point on an element, or when you press the tentative point button, the coordinates for the snap point appear in the status bar.
If on, a sound is played when you snap to an element.
If on, AccuSnap highlights the active element as soon as the pointer is within the range of the Snap Tolerance.
If off, AccuSnap highlights the active element only when a tentative snap point is displayed.
If on, elements are identified automatically, as you pass the pointer over them.
If on, and you pause or hover the pointer over a highlighted element, a pop-up displays information about the element. An option menu lets you define when this information appears.
