Snap & Grid

The Snap and Grid guides are not useful when drawing countertops. According to DraftSight’s help file, “With snap activated, the pointer selects only points positioned directly on the snap grid”. In Snap’s setting, you can change the increments of the snap grid. However, for drawing out countertops it is impractical to have a snap every 1 inch, or even 1/16ths of an inch.


The Grid button activates a visible grid. This grid does not cause the mouse to snap to it, it is simply a visible grid. The increments in which the grid appears can be changed in the Grid button’s settings.
