    Sketch Line command V22 ?

    Hello, I am using V22 and was wondering when using the sketch line command is the any way to get the stat and end postion of the line to "SNAP" onto a existing point ?? I can move the curser over a point and it will highlight but it seems the start of the line vill vary some small amount, not lock onto the point.

    Thanks for any help !!!!!

    That was something I was wondering as well - it would be useful. What I generally do is use the 'line join' function though and that generally serves the same function if you are joining end points of en entity.

    There is no snap function for line creation, but like gn3dr said, use line join.
    it will auto snap to either the end, middle, or bisect of half of a segment.

    In 22 you can use the Line Continuous function with Sketch selected.

    If you place your cursor over the point it will allow you to use it as a snap location.

    When are done drawing a line you can right click and choose OK to do a new line, or cancel to end the function.

    Regards

    Thanks guys for the help !

    I am just so use to being able to snap to a point such as a endpoint or mid point with other cad/cam programs .

    The one thing I am learning with Bobcad V22 is it goes about things a little different form the norm.
