To Snap a Draw Object to the Coordinates of Another Object

Use the following steps to snap a draw object to the coordinates of another draw object.

Click the Draw tab.

Click the Select tool

and then click the draw object on the map.

A box displays around the active object. Shape points display as small, magenta
squares.

Select an end point from any of the line segments within the draw object.
It displays as a red or green circle.

Drag the point to:

•

Any other shape point within a line, spline, polygon, arc, or rectangle.

•

The center point of a circle.

•

The anchor of a symbol.

•

The base point of a text label.

•

The text box anchor point of a MapNote.

When you drag your shape point over a point on the draw object, a yellow diamond

defines the snap point

. Release the point you dragged when the snap point

displays. The active draw object is then snapped to the other object's point

coordinate.

Tip To undo a draw object snap, click Undo to undo the last action. If you decide not to
undo the last action, click Redo.

Notes

•

Do not snap one end point of an arc to the other end point in the same arc.

•

To turn the snapping feature off, press the ALT key on the keyboard while dragging

the draw object.

To Snap the Central Shape Point of an Arc to Another Object

Use the following steps to snap the central shape point of the arc to another object.

Click the Draw tab.

Click the Select tool

and then click the arc on the map.

A box displays around the active object. Shape points display as small, magenta
squares.

While pressing the SHIFT key on the keyboard, drag the center point of the arc line

over a point on the draw object until the snap point (the yellow diamond) displays.

Release the arc. It is snapped to the other object's point coordinate.

Adding Points to Draw Objects

shape of the object.
