Let’s try using the snap feature to easily align objects.
What is the Snap feature?
The Snap feature, when turned on, allows for incremental changes to be made to objects using “Move,” “Rotate,” and “Scale” functions.
The difference between Snap feature On/Off
| With Snap On | Without Snap | |
|---|---|---|
| Move | Moving one unit at a time | Moving 0.01 units at a time |
| Rotate | Rotating by 15 degrees at a time | Rotating by 0.01 degrees at a time |
| Scale | Scaling up or down by 0.2 units at a time | Scaling up or down by 0.01 units at a time |
