Vector and Polar snaps

Vector and Polar snaps

The simplest way to see how snaps and grid work is to try drawing vector objects on a blank document with VSNAP and/or POLAR and/or GRID buttons pressed.
WiseImage analyses the area enclosed in the aperture box or snap pickbox (square) and displays the appropriate snap. The type of snap and its coordinates are shown in a tool tip.
Snaps of different types are shown with their specific markers.

The Polar snap offers the direction and the point on it to accept.
Snaps of different types can be switched on and off in the Snap Setup dialog (menu Tools). This dialog can be open from the cursor menu by right-clicking on the snap control buttons.
