Snap System
To simplify the drawing there is a snap system, that allows tracing with other points already present in the drawing.
See the image on the below to better understand the concept
While drawing , holding down the [CTRL] key activate the angular snap, instead holding down the [SHIFT] key activate the grid snap.
Snap Tangent feature
- Hover with mouse cursor on arc / circle entity .
- When the nearest snap icon show up, click on that arc/circle entity.
- Now go with the mouse cursor on other arc/circle entity and click when the same snap type is visible.
This works both with segment and arc , see the video below.
