The Node Snap tool is one of several Snap Tools . This commands becomes available whenever the current prompt is for the selection of a 3D point.
If the node snap command is selected then all available nodes are highlighted (colored green) for one of them to be selected. In effect the 3D point selection is suspended while the a selection of one of a node is made. For the point selection to be resumed one of the nodes must be selected.
A node is selected by moving the mouse pointer close to a highlighted node and pressing to select it. If none of the highlighted nodes are close to the selected point then the system issue a Beep and node selection continues.
The node and point selection process can be aborted at any time using the escape key (ESC).
Once a node is successfully selected the CAD prompt returns to the point selection. However the movement of the cross cursor (representing the current actual 3D cursor point) is now restricted (i.e. pinned) to the selected node point The cross cursor therefore remains static and does not move with the mouse pointer. The mouse button should be pressed again to confirm the node point selection.
The Node Snap Dialog
The node snap dialog replaces the point selection dialog when the node snap command is selected.
