What is automatic snapping?

Automatic snapping is a feature that helps you align and draw lines or polygons precisely by automatically "snapping" them to specific angles or nearby elements, such as other lines or shapes.

When automatic snapping is enabled in Togal, it helps you draw lines and polygons at defined angle or length increments from each other. Snapping works with the following combinations:

  • Line to a polygon
  • Polygon to a line
  • Line to another line
  • Dimension line to a polygon or line
