When snap to object is on, the SmartCursor finds specific parts of an object, such as corners, endpoints, midpoints, or centers of 2D objects and arc edges, as well as meshes, extrudes, sweeps, spheres, 3D polygons, 3D planar faces, and walls, floors, roofs, roof faces, loci, and columns. Cues display near the cursor to identify the location.

To activate object snapping:

1.      Click the tool.

2.      To change settings, if needed, double-click the tool, or select Tools > SmartCursor Settings.

The SmartCursor Settings dialog box opens. From the Object tab, specify the object snap settings.
