Measurement properties "SNAP" - Auto Features

Could someone please explain what the "SNAP" feature under measurement properties in the Auto Feature dialgog box means and when it would be used? Thanks in advance!

  • If I'm understanding right then it would be helpful to have it on if I am reporting the deviation of vector point that is normal to a surface in one axis.... 0,0,1 for example rather than say.... .2551,.36666,.754444. Hope that made sense.

    Yes, although measuring at v0,0,1 with SNAP probably wont give you a better value vs no snap. Its more designed towards non normal vectors.
