Lesson 06 | Using Object Snaps

In this lesson, you learn what object snaps are, why they are important, and how to use them effectively in your drawing. You will be able to explain what object snaps are including the difference between running object snaps and object snap overrides. You will also be able to use objects snaps to select snap points in the drawing.

You will use object snaps for all drawing and most editing operations. Using object snaps is the best way to ensure the accuracy of all of your objects.
