Line Snap

While you create a line in a 3D sketch, you can snap the line to geometry that already exists in the part, such as model surfaces or vertices, and sketch points.

  • Snap is not enabled if you are sketching in one of the major coordinate directions.

  • If you are sketching on a plane, and the SolidWorks software infers a snap to a non-planar point, a temporary 3D graphics box is displayed to indicate an off-planar snap.
