SOLIDWORKS snaps to sketch geometry on the fly. For example, as the pointer approaches a line endpoint, the pointer changes to recognize the endpoint so you can choose to select it.
SOLIDWORKS offers a display grid and snap grid while in sketch mode and in drawings. You can align the grid to a model edge and you can snap to an angle. The grid and snap capabilities are not often used in SOLIDWORKS since dimensions and relations provide the required accuracy.
