C&G Snap
C&G Snaps are object snaps that are active only during a
C&G command. These snaps allow you to pick point symbols
and/or C&G lines by clicking near them. They work similar
to the CAD snaps but only snap to C&G entities. The
C&G snaps work in conjunction with the normal CAD snaps but,
when a C&G command is run, the CAD snaps are automatically
turned off at the start of the command and the C&G snaps become
active. In almost all C&G features you have the option of
turning the CAD snaps back on if desired. When both the CAD
and C&G snaps are on, the CAD snaps are applied first to
determine the x and y screen coordinates of the point on the
appropriate CAD entity; these coordinates are than passed to
C&G and they are used to apply the C&G snaps and find the
nearest appropriate C&G entity.
Note: If CAD snaps are
turned on during a C&G command and if C&G snaps are also
on, a double snapping process occurs. Because of this
double snapping, it is recommended that when C&G Snaps are on,
CAD snaps should be left off during C&G commands.
Note: If snapping is
desired and C&G snaps are off, then the CAD snaps must be
turned on each time a C&G command is run.
